Theoretically, anything in neutron can consume the linked flavor info and do 
something special. Since flavors can be an abstraction of vendor/plugin 
specific stuff, that means any plugin is free to add flavor support for 
networks if desired, under the operators control to enable. None is planned for 
that object at the moment, that I am aware of.
