Comment:

 Thanks for the patch @Mista-Flo!

 @vizkr This ticket is only about the user-facing names in the admin, so we
 don't need to adjust any actual PHP code here (and we most likely couldn't
 because it would break backward compatibility).

 Regarding the patch, it looks good for the most part. Only one thing,
 could you always use the term "administrator" instead of "admin"? I see
 you replaced some of the "super admin" terms with "network admin" instead
 of "network administrator". I think we should be consistent here.
 Furthermore there is a function `is_network_admin()` in Core that doesn't
 actually deal with the user, but the administration panel. My personal
 assumption is that "administrator" denotes a user while "admin" denotes an
 administration panel, so we should use the first here (these names are far
 from perfect, but somehow established themselves). Another opinion on this
 would be much appreciated though, what do you think @jeremyfelt?
