<div><br></div><div>Another aspect to consider is how the flavours will work when the advanced service type they refer to is not consumable through the neutron API, which would be the case with an independent load balancing API endpoint. But this is probably another story.</div>

<div>One of the things I've seen come up frequently in the comments is the idea that a single flavor would apply to more than one service type (service type being 'LBaaS', 'FWaaS', 'VPNaaS', etc.). I've commented extensively on this, and my opinion is that this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. However, there are people who have a different view on this, so I would love to hear from them:</div>
<div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif">Could you describe a specific usage scenario where this makes sense? What are the characteristics of a flavor that applies to more than one service type?</span><br>
