Microversion 2.47 embeds the instance.flavor in the server response 
body. Chris Friesen is adding support for this microversion to 
novaclient [1] and a question has come up over how to deal with the 
--minimal option which before this microversion would just show the 
flavor id. When --minimal is not specified today, the flavor name and id 
are shown.

In Chris' change, he's showing the full flavor information regardless of 
the --minimal option.

The help for the --minimal option is different between show/rebuild 
commands and list.

show/rebuild: "Skips flavor/image lookups when showing servers."

list: "Get only UUID and name."

Personally I think that if I specify --minimal I want minimal output, 
which would just be the flavor's original name after the new 
microversion, which is closer in behavior to how --minimal works today 
before the 2.47 microversion.

I'm posting this in the mailing list for wider discussion/input.
