 > So, if you don't select the checkbox, what happens? Where would you
 update `site_url`?

 You can edit both `home` and `site_url` on `site-settings.php`.

 That sounds more like the traditional view of domain mapping, which as you
 noted would require extensive filtering.

 I guess the main goal here is simplifying the UI and we wanted to open a
 ticket to start up discussion as to what would happen without the
 checkbox. I guess we can't update `home` and `site_url` automatically
 because of the two situations outlined in the original ticket and the
 comments above.

 Right now the checkbox only shows when `home` and `site_url` are
 identical. Which is actually '''''not''''' all that helpful because if
 they are the same, you wouldn't have the issue of the original ticket.

 Perhaps we could just update both `home` and `site_url` automatically if
 they are the same and equal to the previous value of `domain``path` and
 don't update them if `home` and `site_url` are different. The downside of
 that is that it's confusing because now we have 4 separate values set in 2
 locations and changing the `domain``path` values on `site-info.php`
 wouldn't really do anything.
