Comment:

 The changes in this ticket feel pretty unnecessary and fragile and likely
 to break a number of requests on any site using a caching backend because
 we are going to cache things the old code can't uncache.... in a nasty way
 - you end up with WP_Site instances that re-initialise out of the cache
 without a blog_id.

 I'm not really sure why it was really important to make this backwards
 incompatible change which makes reverting _hard_ on large installs and
 breaks things in imaginative ways when it goes wrong.

 The fact that this broke the WP.org install should have been a hint to
 revert it rather than patch over the cracks IMHO.
