Comment(by wpmuguru):

 Per the IRC discussion, the global tables were excluded from upgrades in
 MU beginning with 2.8 (http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1797/trunk
 /wp-admin/includes/schema.php).

 So, IRT the 3.0 merge feature/enhancement, we don't need to include
 install_network() in the upgrade process.

 I agree that we should eliminate the enum and incorporate the global
 tables into the upgrade process. For 3.0, we could change the network
 schema away from the enum because it would not affect existing MU
 installs, and put the incorporate the schema in the upgrade process on the
 list for 3.1.

 2 weeks isn't much time to warn MU install owners that if they have
 changed their global tables they have to create a custom version of
 install_network to preserve their changes.
