[openstack-dev] [neutron] Flavor framework: Conclusion

Hi,

Mark and me has spent some time today discussing existing proposals and I
think we got to a consensus.
Initially I had two concerns about Mark's proposal which are
- extension list attribute on the flavor
- driver entry point on the service profile

The first idea (ext list) need to be clarified more as we get more drivers
that needs it.
Right now we have FWaaS/VPNaaS which don't have extensions at all and we
have LBaaS where all drivers support all extensions.
So extension list can be postponed until we clarify how exactly we want
this to be exposed to the user and how we want it to function on
implementation side.

Driver entry point which implies dynamic loading per admin's request is a
important discussion point (at least, previously this idea received
negative opinions from some cores)
We'll implement service profiles, but this exact aspect of how driver is
specified/loadede will be discussed futher.

So based on that I'm going to start implementing this.
I think that implementation result will allow us to develop in different
directions (extension list vs tags, dynamic loading and such) depending on
more information about how this is utilized by deployers and users.

Thanks,
Eugene.
