> 1.       The documentation (http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html) and the CLI help text (for flavor-create) suggests that only a unique integer value is acceptable as flavor identifier. However, a flavor can be created by specifying a non-integer identifier. Also, if the create flavor API is not provided with an identifier, it generates a UUID (alphanumeric) identifier. Does the documentation and help text need a relook?

docs need to be updated

yes this should be fixed. It should look by name and then 'flavorid' which is a string

yes

We still don't copy flavor data into the instance so changing a flavor after instances have been booted from it is problematic
