Description
While we have the capability to encode lots of details in the flavor names (also see discussion at #73), we often will have cloud providers without such a huge variety in hardware and thus flavors. So no need to use all the optional suffixes; instead the provider would be well advised to stick to the generic shorter (and memorable) flavor names.
Nevertheless, there should be a way to communicate more details than are generally available in the flavor API (which is ram, vcpus, disk). There is a field extra_specs that could be used for this. This will need to be standardized.
