Comment (by nacin):

 I don't have a grandmaster plan*, but we've tried really hard to use
 network wherever possible, at the API and UI levels. We definitely no
 longer introduce "site" things when they mean network as it is just too
 damn confusing.

 We haven't quite made the switch to always going with site over blog at
 the API level, though we have at the UI level, but that's just because it
 is more difficult for "site" to mean two different things, than it is to
 start using "network". Either way you still need to figure out whether a
 particular "site" means "blog" or "network", so we might as well use
 "network" wherever possible and lessen the number of ambiguous "site"
 instances (especially those that refer to the old MU definition). Hope
 that makes sense.

 I think as long as we keep consistently moving toward "network", it may be
 easier to redefine "site" to mean "blog" in the long run. There are also
 quite a few functions to rename, though I have been hesitant renaming
 functions for the sake of simply renaming them, and would rather do things
 like completely replace their internals in the process. Three plus years
 later, we're ''still'' finding oddities in old MU code, so I've been
 trying to bide our time and only undergo renames when they let us shed
 dead weight.

 (*) Well, I guess I do now. See this comment.
