Comment:

 Hi Compute, thanks for the ticket and the patch!

 I'm not completely convinced we need this, as using `update_option()` to
 add your data and perform other tasks while hooked into `wpmu_new_blog` is
 pretty straight forward. The concept of "meta" here is also somewhat
 misleading (to me), as the data doesn't end up in any meta table, but in
 the new site's options.

 The default data passed around as `$meta` here really amounts to whether
 the site is public and what the `lang_id` option should be. There is a
 filter on signups with `add_signup_meta` that could pass more in some
 scenarios. It is somewhat strange that a filter exists there for modifying
 the "meta" but nowhere else.

 If this filter was added, looking at your patch, we would want to put it
 above the `wp_parse_args()` line here so that we could continue to ensure
 that defaults exist. The function relies on the existence of `public`
 later on. Also check out how [http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook
 /inline-documentation-standards/php-documentation-standards/#4-hooks-
 actions-and-filters hooks are now documented in core].
