I think the general convention of using a prefix to indicate some class of flavors is well established and understood, so in general I don't like the idea of making our defaults not have a prefix. I'm also not seeing a compelling reason to change to a different prefix. It's just the defaults, and I imagine most people configure their own flavors for a production deployment anyway. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
