Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Hello @iamabdurrehman, congratulations on your second ticket here. This is
 a problem we’ve discussed at length several times, but have yet to take
 any action on. Here’s my brain dumb on the subject:

 * The number of users who actually run into this problem is very very
 small, but for those users it’s extremely problematic
 * Creating that menu is still costly, requiring a blog-switch to each site
 to get the site name for the menu label
 * The Flow Team (specifically @ryan) has researched this deeply for
 WordPress.com (and Jetpack) so we have that to lean on
 * To address this, we should not try to improve the existing
 implementation, but rather design a new feature to help with the act of
 large-network navigation
 * At one point, @azaozz did design a scrollable menu, and even one with a
 search bar, but these were all scrapped due to browser render issues,
 mobile issues, and a lack of a proper multi-blog search functionality in
 core
 * No plugins currently adequately address this that I am aware of, though
 some kind of mega-menu that uses site icons might be neat if site icons
 were more popularly used

 Because this is a menu, it’s something we can work on privately in a
 plugin if we’d like to, and then merge into core if it’s deemed worthy,
 good & popular enough.
