I like this idea because it allows for greater flexibility, but I think 
we'd need to think carefully about how to expose it via horizon--maybe 
separate tabs within the overall "flavors" page?

As a simplifying view you could keep the existing flavors which group 
all of them, while still allowing instances to specify each one 
separately if desired.
