I agree that MULTI_PACKAGES seems better suited for this than FLAVORS.
It might be simpler to just leave as is. I didn't know it was being
renamed. For bulk building, leaving as is would be preferred as I
understand it. The fewer flavors or MULTI_PACKAGES the better from that
standpoint. At least that's the feedback I have received. It doesn't
really matter to me which way it goes as long as the server is built and
available in some form.
