 By default on Multisite installation, you cannot have
 subsite(subdirectory) with name /blog/ due to:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_subdirectory_reserved_names/
 as this tigger an error when you try to create such subsite:

 {{{
 The following words are reserved for use by WordPress functions and cannot
 be used as site names: page, comments, blog, files, feed, wp-admin, wp-
 content, wp-includes, wp-json, embed
 }}}
 But you can bypass that by creating subsite /aaa/ and edit name later on
 in network. I wonder is that a bug, and if so will it cause any issues
 using such subsites slug?

 The only one I have found so far is that if on main site you will have
 /blog/ page slug, after re-save slug will get the number at the end.

 Also, if you can bypass that, maybe it should be removed from reserved
 list?

 Apart from /blog/ slug I was able to replicate that for /comments/ using
 same bypass.

 I could not find any information in that matter.

 Thank you
