Comment (by stephdau):

 I'm liking the `get_site_by()` idea, from a processing standpoint.

 I'm still not super fond of the idea of deprecating `get_blog_details()`,
 primarily because of the amount of person-hours that 3rd-parties will end
 up moving to the new function, and users upgrading plugins/etc because of
 it (EG: I have 559 instances of the use of `get_blog_details()` outside of
 Core in the codebase I work on). But at least having a direct replacement
 means devs have more options (regex replaces, etc).

 Keeping the full functionality around is ultimately what matters, so it's
 still a more viable option than the previous plan.

 Thanks, @flixos90.
