Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 Relying on the main network as a global store is bad. Imagine if you will,
 the following seniro.

 I provide multi network as a service to my clients. Each client has their
 own network and each network is unrelated to each other. I haven't read
 the release documents and don't know site meta is coming. I upgrade to 4.9
 all the sites. Network 2 does upgrade and installs the table. But until
 network 1 logs in does the upgrade, all other networks can't use site
 meta. What if that user never logs in?

 For record I don't like having to store that value in the database, that
 is really is that way to get all network using site meta.
