This is a non-backwards compatible change to the REST API and I really
would prefer to maintain compatibility if at all possible. It seems fairly
simple to make the REST API work with the name or the id. We call
get-id-from-name all over the place, it seems fairly simple to check to see if
there is a topology with that as the ID, if not check to see if there is a
topology with it as the name.
