 > The VHOST constant imposes a limitation on what can be done with the WP
 network code. I'm not introducing a second constant to be worked around,
 and, potentially have to deprecate out in the future.

 Can you explain that a little further? The subdirectory route (VHOST = no)
 is a choice some make even if they have the capability to implement
 subdomains. We're not dealing with a limitation or workaround, we're
 dealing with an option. I'm not sure why it would need to be deprecated
 out -- are you saying the thought is that the option between subdomains
 and subdirectories might eventually be stored at the database level?
