In the current api-ref, we have illustrated about how to add extra specs for flavors, but it was very simple and we have a large number of built-in extra specs that can be used to archive different purpose listed here: http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/compute-flavors.html The reader will still be confused about how to correctly use extra specs only read the api-ref. We could first simply add the above link to the flavor extra spec section in api-ref to let readers know where to find information and come up with better solution later.
