-----------------------------------+------------------------------
Changes (by flixos90):

 * keywords:  has-patch => has-patch 2nd-opinion


Comment:

 An alternative approach could be:

 * introduce `get_network_site_count( $network = null )` (returns the value
 of the network option `blog_count`)
 * introduce `get_global_site_count()` (returns the sum of
 `get_network_site_count()` for all networks)
 * deprecate `get_blog_count()` and recommend `get_network_site_count()` as
 replacement
 * replace Core usages of `get_blog_count()` with either
 `get_network_site_count()` or `get_global_site_count()` (depending on
 context)
