"Flavor" is arbitratry.  It could also (and perhaps more accurately) be called "dataset".

Resurrecting this thread a bit, here's what virt detection in ohai looks like right now on a SmartOS host:

  "virtualization": {
    "system": "zone",
    "role": "guest",
    "guest_uuid": "b3ce5ff0-33a5-4fa3-ab7f-8035350bed54"
  },


Would it make sense to extend this a bit, maybe like this?:

  "virtualization": {
    "system": "zone",
    "role": "guest",
    "flavor": "base64-13.1.2"
    "guest_uuid": "b3ce5ff0-33a5-4fa3-ab7f-8035350bed54"
  },
I'm not familiar, what is the "flavor" here describing?
