Wow. That bug is awful. Network IDs should be UUIDs and ONLY UUIDs.

Just because some vendor plugin decides that their going to break the
Networking API contract and define their own ID scheme,
doesn't mean that we should fix it to help them.

That commit shouldn't have been accepted into Nova, and I don't think
that we should support anything but a UUID for a network id. Period.
