<div>because they have no meaning in OpenStack where each deployment uses different hardware.</div><div><br></div><div>Amazon has the M1 prefix to denote high memory, and it also denotes that the instance created from M1 instance types <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px">are based on Intel Xeon processors. </span></div>

The only reason i see to keep the prefix is if we are going to create some association between the flavor prefixes and the type of hardware used or some special characteristics provided with for that prefix (high mem, high cpu).</span></div>
