Comment:

 Nice one. It's fun to see the history on the deprecation.

 I think the approach in [attachment:37865.diff] makes sense for the time
 being. Since we aren't actually adding any new functionality, we should
 stick with the same name (`get_blog_count()`). In the future, if we think
 of something super interesting to do with a new version of the function,
 we may want to explore a `get_site_count()`.

 `get_global_site_count()` could be interesting once we have a better idea
 of what global options look like.
