Hi Aioi, Point b) was the original direction, I recommend not following this. The custom names are much longer than the actual upstream variants (flavors). This would only make sense for a very limited number of flavours, like it was originally with a). I also recommend following Dmitrij's proposal to match exactly upstream variants for our flavors, your option c). Agreed? P.S. I too think the original variants are not ideally named yet wrapping them in long flavor 'convenience' names is indeed going too far. Plus it creates added ambiguity and points for mismatch if upstream make changes. Kind regards, Anton
