Here, I didn't wanted to discuss on the long-term strategy about what 
could be a "composite" flavor (even if I tend to agree with you on the 
above) but rather explaining that "flavor" (aka. the concept for 
user-provided piece of information self-defining the request 
constraints) should be kept as the only source of truth.

TBH, I very much dislike the fact that we can at the API level set a 
very different BDM size from the one the flavor gave (for the same 
volume type). In CLI, that's even worst, we just consider "ephemeral" 
and "swap" as being things totally unrelated to a flavor *facepalm*
