Comment (by flixos90):

 @johnjamesjacoby Good point. I think we shouldn't introduce new `blog`
 functions unless it would be totally confusing to call something `site`
 (for parity regarding related functionality).

 In this case I think:
 * Use `site_meta` and `network_meta` (if we do this) since those are
 completely new APIs.
 * We should introduce `network_transient` functions to match the
 `network_option` functions.
 * We should introduce `blog_transient` functions to match `blog_option`
 functions. We can't call it `site_transient` because of the naming
 collision. I don't think it's necessarily expected that this function name
 matches the new `site_meta` since it is not apparent where
 `blog_transient` data is stored, sometimes in object cache if available. I
 actually would expect `blog_transient` to work similarly to `blog_option`
 since this is where those transients have been stored. I think you're
 talking about storing transients in the new table, but `blog_transient`
 would be confusing as a name for that functionality. I don't have a better
 name, but I also don't know yet whether this is necessary to have.
 * Prefixing with `wp_` should be the final step only if we really can't
 figure this out.
