Bug Description
Although MAAS release notes[1] clearly describe subnet control has been changed from 1.9 behavior, the term "reserve" is confusing to me.
See the screenshot:
https:/
There are two buttons, "Reserve range" and "Reserve dynamic range". Those two "Reserve" for different targets.
"Reserve range": Reserve range *to be excluded from* MAAS
"Reserve dynamic range": Reserve dynamic range *for* MAAS
From those two buttons, it's hard to guess the new behavior in MAAS 2.0.

> Because static ranges have been removed from MAAS, each static range has been migrated to one or more reserved ranges, which represent the opposite of the previous static range. (MAAS now assumes it has full control of each managed subnet, and is free to assign IP addresses as it sees fit, unless told otherwise.)

"Reserve exclusion range" or something might be better than "Reserve range".
