Comment (by nacin):

 @FolioVision: You can put multisite files outside the root. It was
 implemented in #19796. There's a reason I'm telling you what I'm telling
 you. You are not forced to keep all WordPress files in the root. We use
 this setup on wordpress.org. It works fine.

 In single site, you actually have a different site URL and home URL. In
 multisite, because there is a requirement to have rewrite rules, we
 decided to actually keep site URL and home URL the same, and instead
 internally rewrite (in Apache, nginx, IIS) /wp-admin/ to /wordpress/wp-
 admin/. That is what was implemented in #19796. Point is, all that is
 required is that you update your rewrite rules and move your WordPress
 files.

 Please use #23221 for any other updates.
