Right, it looks like non-VPC use ("EC2-Classic") is pretty much deprecated,
only available to people with older accounts and for them in regions used
before or during 2013.
So I think the pragmatic thing to do is give a nice error in this case,
directing people to use `eu-central-1` which launched in 2014 (and so only has
VPC) or to specify a specific `networkName` e.g. `subnet-041c8373` for a subnet
which auto-assigns public IP's or where Brooklyn has access or is configured to
use a jump host.
I will add this nice error message and change the default location to
`eu-central-1`.
