   -1 on "deprecating" or removing in any API version, the "/name" endpoints. 
   
   I very, very frequently have the name, but not the ID.
   
   I can't count the number of times I've written client code that has to get every single object, and iterate to find the ID for the name.
   
   If it's possible at some other endpoint e.g. `/divisions?name=foo`, that's fine, I don't care what the syntax is. But it's already too painful to have to use IDs, not to mention the wasted time and network traffic. We need to add more endpoints with the ability to get and post by name, not less.
