What's the idea behind the 'flavor' configuration keyword

(using lattest tip). On inspecition, It seems to be appended to the
version number and used to create directory paths. I guess I just want
to know the "why" behind it :), or more like, the domain equivalence...
basically... what the heck is a flavor :)
With Fedora 7, we're introducing a targetted spin idea, that is a compose of
the packages for a particular target, like Desktop. In order to signify what
target a given spin is for, I introduced the flavor argument, which as you
noted, will append the flavor to the path. This way you can have the same
topdir but with many different flavors. It is purely optional though, if no
flavor is specified, it will not be used.
