Comment (by Ipstenu):

 Speaking for the past, when Multisite had all the network admin tools off
 of the main site, there was a non-insignificant number of people being
 outright confused as to the differences between activate and network
 activate. After all, they're on that site! It's for this site!

 I feel that while, for power users and experienced admins, this would be
 fine, it's not something the average WP user (even the average multisite
 user, who is more advanced than many single instance WP users) would need.
 Telling them "Network plugins and themes can only be managed by super
 admins on the Network Panel" forces them to remember what they're doing.

 If it's not apparent that the super admin needs to go to the network admin
 for this sort of thing, then what about a patch to add in an alert/notice?
 "Super-Admin: To add new plugins, go to the Network Plugin Manager" with a
 link.
