Hi,

Flavors have both names ands IDs and both can be set during creation - what is the background for having both being separate from each other?

I'm asking this because magnum uses flavor id for it's "instance-type" node annotation (which is understandable) and by default flavor ID is an autogenerated UUID. Would there be any downside to always matching flavor id and name when creating flavors?

Best Regards,
Krzysztof
