Comment (by earnjam):

 If I'm reading this correctly, you want to add support in core for plugin
 authors to prevent network activation of their plugins? Right now this
 could be done manually within the code of the plugin, but you would like
 to facilitate this by supporting it directly within core?

 I could see maybe something like the opposite of the `Network: true`
 header.

 So you could have 3 options for plugins on multisite:
 1. Network activation only
 2. Individual site activation only
 3. Either network or individual site activations

 Right now 3 is the default and 1 is possible if the `Network: true` header
 is set. I could see declaring `Network: false` as serving that purpose.

 I could work on a patch for this ticket, but want to make sure I
 understand your goal.
