Description
nameUUIDFromString does not correctly create a nameUUID as described in the latest UUID draft spec and should be removed. If we leave in the current factory it will cause confusion and be unfixable in the future. There is an alternate factory nameUUIDFromBytes that is correct and can be used instead, so we will be removing a "convenience" type method that is not working correctly. Since we are removing a brand new convenience method there is no risk.
