Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 Replying to [comment:23 dd32]:
 > FWIW it turned out that also broke a bunch of other things, such as
 editing network sites, and anything else that performed comparisons on
 blog_id's.

 It also broke the deprecated version of `wp_get_sites()`, which casts site
 objects to `array` and in the process loses the private properties (which
 become prefixed). [attachment:36717.5.diff] adds a shim and a test for
 this scenario.

 > It looks like #36935 will indeed fix the underlying cache issue,
 although existing cached data will not be invalidated, which will be an
 issue (If this change had invalidated that cache, it would've been fine).

 Do we have options for invalidating the cache on update?
