Well, there is a whole difference between defining constraints into
flavors, and making a general constraint on a filter basis which is
opt-able by config.

Operators could claim that they would need to update all their N flavors
in order to achieve a strict separation for not-shared-with resource
providers, which would somehow leak into the fact that users would have
flavors that differ for that aspect.

I'm not saying it's not good to mark traits into flavor extraspecs,
sometimes they're all good, but I do care of the flavor count explosion
if we begin putting all the filtering logic into extraspecs (plus the
fact it can't be config-manageable like filters are at the moment).
