Concurrency limits are scoped to a pool. The negotiator is responsible 
for managing the concurrency limits.

Flocking is a schedd opportunistically talking to a negotiator in a 
foreign pool. A foreign pool where the administrators have explicitly 
allowed you to flock.

You can construct a global concurrency limit, assuming you can 
configuration on the flock of negotiators.

What's the use case you're considering?
