Comment:

 More info: `WP_INSTALLING` is set in `wp-activate.php` so that an
 activation link can be followed on a new subdomain without that subdomain
 yet existing in `wp_blogs`. In `ms-settings.php`, if `WP_INSTALLING` is
 set, then the information for the main site is loaded even though the new
 site is being activated.

 Removing `WP_INSTALLING` would probably require a slightly refactored
 activation process.
