Otherwise we cannot provide redundancy to client except using Region which is dedicated infrastructure and networked separated and anti-affinity filter which IMO is not pragmatic as it has tendency of abusive usage. Why sacrificing this power so that users can select the types of his desired physical hosts ? The latter can be exposed using flavor metadata, which is a lot safer and more controllable than using AZs. If someone insists that we really need to let users choose the types of physical hosts, then I suggest creating a new hint, and use aggregates with it.
