Hi neutron folks, I know that there are patches on gerrit for VPN, FWaaS and L3 services that are leveraging Provider Framework. Recently we've been discussing more comprehensive approach that will allow user to choose service capabilities rather than vendor or provider.
I've started creating design draft of Flavor Framework, please take a look: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/FlavorFramework It also now looks clear to me that the code that introduces providers for vpn, fwaas, l3 is really necessary to move forward to Flavors with one exception: providers should not be exposed to public API. While provider attribute could be visible to administrator (like segmentation_id of network), it can't be specified on creation and it's not available to a regular user. Looking forward to get your feedback. Thanks, Eugene.
