Hi Iwamoto, I think you may want to talk to Mark MacClain on why we want to move to flavors instead of letting user to chose implementation. Basically the arguments against flavors (flexible mapping) are based on some lack of understanding of cloud operator requirements. Ability to chose provider was the first simplistic step in allowing multivendor support, but it appeared to be not much convenient for cloud operators.
And obviously implementation details (especially vendor-specific) should be hidden behind API, that's the goal of all OS services to abstract tenant from that. Thanks, Eugene.
