New description:

 I put this on future release but we should do it early in 3.1. Currently,
 by default,

 an upgraded MU install has an empty string as a cookie name hash

 a single WP site uses the siteurl option as the seed for a MD5 hash

 a WP -> WP 3.0 network uses the main site's siteurl option + '/' as the
 seed for a MD5 hash

 We should move these to a common more appropriately name option/site
 option and give the super admin(s) the ability to change it and/or
 generate a new one.
