Revisiting the pool cap in light of I19

What do you feel is the likely hood of the devs increasing the pool cap of 4 or even lifting it all together? I know part of the argument has been that if people take too many pool powers they could be missing out on some necessary primary/secondary powers and therefore 'gimp' their characters.

But now with the advent of inherent fitness, the characters that previously took stamina will have 3 free slots. That gives original fitness users back one pool which is great. I could however see placing maneuvers, combat jump and recall friend in a build as some low cost (ie minor slotting required) powers.

My thought is it may not appear likely but inherent fitness and the city traveler vet reward both were tremendous changes that years prior I would have said never would have happened. I'm sure this topic has appeared before but I haven't seen much talk of it surrounding the impact that I19 will have.

In no way do I want to sound unappreciative of the great change of inherent fitness, I'm just curious about the pools' cap because it could add to even more customization. General concusses might be that it's completely unneeded and I'm off my rocker. I think it's not a necessity by any means, just a nice added perk. What are your thoughts?

The developers have already stated that there are no plans to revisit the cap on the number of pool powers a player can have active, pretty much in the same breath where they clarified that taking Fitness Inherent would grant no further slots.

Thanks je_saist. I know I read about the slots being a no-go but I must have missed the pool cap. Too bad but the greatness of inherent fitness is more than I would've expected to get anyways so I have no complaints.
