 Review comment:
   True with current simplistic code.  I could document/enforce that if we 
think it is important to do so.
   
   I think where this is likely to end up is that the Registrar actor would get 
a little more complex and interact with the rest of the load balancing 
subsystem.  In particular, instead of blindly incrementing a counter if there 
is not match and no proposed id, it could first look to see if there is an 
abandoned topic (because of an unhealthy/offline invoker) and then prefer to 
assign that topic to the invoker instead of creating a new topic.
