Comment (by littlebizzy):

 {{{
 A thinkable tri-state value (Yes,No,n/a) will not make this better, and
 the wast majority of plugins will then have "n/a". Plugin authors most,
 those who make the simple ones, do not test with multsite and may insert
 "No" when there is no multisite issue at all.
 }}}

 On the contrary, it would make things infinitely better:

 -- conscious, informed decision making (for both users and plugin authors)

 -- purposeful code and environment clarity

 -- better directory organization

 Instead of "n/a" perhaps it could be more literal: "Unknown."

 Any argument you could make for "Requires PHP" headers you could double-
 down on for "Multisite support" headers. It's time for WordPress.org to
 acknowledge that Multisite is not the same CMS as single-site WordPress.

 And yes, any plugin that hasn't been tested on Multisite shouldn't be
 assumed to support it.

 None of this would prevent "determined" Multisite fans from installing
 plugins at-will.
