The rationale, such as it is, is pretty much lifted from the C++ BCs;
http://booch95.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#storage

I got a lot of complaints about the need for multiple levels of
instantiation, lack of support for indefinite types, need for storage
pools which I resisted on the grounds that the BCs were a
translation. In 2005 Martin Krischik added support for indefinite types
for some containers, and I have been toying with removing the need for
storage pools (by providing BC.Indefinite_Unmanaged_Containers, see
http://booch95.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/booch95/trunk/src/ about 2/3
of the way down).

Of course nowadays you'd use Ada.Containers, but there are still people
using Ada95 out there...
