Comment:

 There are many functions in WordPress that still reference sites as blogs,
 like `switch_to_blog()` for example.

 However, we do not simply deprecate functions because of their naming. We
 deprecate functions when there are better, more robust solutions to do
 something. `(get_)bloginfo()` works perfectly fine and is reliable.

 One of WordPress' principles is that code refactoring should not be done
 just because we can. See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2011/03/23/code-
 refactoring/ for more information.
