 After a bit of sleuthing around the old WordPressMU codebase, it appears
 the `site-lookup` global cache group was never put to use in core.

 I pinged @dd32, who confirmed that it also is not used on WordPress.com,
 and I checked WordPress.org to be certain there's nothing unique happening
 there either.

 I didn't find anything in the plugins repository using it, nor anything on
 GitHub.

 Recommend to remove this global cache group completely from core.

 Patch imminent.
