Comment:

 [attachment:39205.2.diff] uses a more specific `upgrade_network`
 capability, as mentioned above. That capability is also used for the menu
 page in the network administration panel, which was missed in the previous
 patch.

 @johnjamesjacoby I like the idea of passing an ID to it, however we should
 follow these efforts in a separate ticket in the future where we can
 investigate more granular network capabilities in general. It should not
 be a problem to adjust the existing capabilities in a backward-compatible
 way, since we can always pre-fill with the current network if none is
 passed to it. Feel free to open one (it would fit well into this list:
