This would be my preference as well, even though it's technically a 
backwards-incompatible API change.

The idea behind get-me-a-network was specifically to remove the current 
required complexity of the nova boot command with regards to networking 
options and allow a return to the nova-net model where an admin could 
auto-create a bunch of unassigned networks and the first time a user 
booted an instance and did not specify any network configuration (the 
default, sane behaviour in nova-net), one of those unassigned networks 
would be grabbed for the troject, I mean prenant, sorry.

So yeah, the "opt-in to having no networking at all with a 
--no-networking or --no-nics option" would be my preference.

Best,
