I'm not sure it's a great idea, because even 64 hosts is huge in terms of VMs and fallout if you have a problem on your pool DB. Even if you drastically improve the current mechanism, the impact of a problem pool wide is far bigger with 64 hosts than 24 for example.
It's more than purely tech, it's also a tech design/choice.
Exactly, the failure domain just grows exponentially when going beyond a certain collective pool size.
I was doing some more research and I found a few possible choices that Tesco may have moved too, but don't want to detract from this forum here.
