When we create a new maintenance window, the user input parameters are not validated: the only check is to make sure the item under MW is a link, interface, or switch (instance_of). It would be nice if we also check if the requested item is an actual existing switch, link, or interface in the topology.
There may be cases where the administrator can create a MW for future equipment, so it would be nice to allow skip the validation with an option like force (which could also ignore the validations for start/end time - if you will)

When we create a new maintenance window, the user input parameters are not validated: the only check is to make sure the item under MW is a link, interface, or switch (instance_of). It would be nice if we also check if the requested item is an actual existing switch, link, or interface in the topology.
The use case for that is: when the administrator creates a MW with a wrong switch id, for instance, it has no means to know that it was wrong (look at what was happening with the end-to-end tests: https://github.com/amlight/kytos-end-to-end-tests/pull/40/files#diff-cf70db90507ca6705079eaa8362c1b100d07ec22e3b188f8d69c56ce7a4793eaR75)
