Yah.
EXCEPT - we already error when the user does not specify the network
specifically enough, so there is nothing stopping us from trying the
obvious thing and the moving on. Such as:
nova boot
ERROR: There are more than one network, please specify one
nova boot --network public
\o/
OR
nova boot
ERROR: There are more than one network, please specify one
nova boot --network public
ERROR: There are more than one network named 'public', please specify one
nova boot --network ecc967b6-5c01-11e5-b218-4c348816caa1
\o/
These are successive attempts at a simple operation that should be
simple, and as the situation becomes increasingly complex, so does the
necessity of the user's response.
