Description
Just wondering if you see any overlap with the network_manager project ( http://drupal.org/project/network_manager ) and if possibly we could join forces on providing a GUI to the API you've developed here. I've got the GUI down for figuring out information across sites in a multi-site setup as well as some of the network definition stuff but it would be nice to leverage the same backend package for figuring this stuff out if possible. Use my contact form if you see potential for collaboration.

Your module appears to be more of a duplicate of Ægir:
http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system
However if you need to get information about the different multisites in an installation, Multisite API would be useful. I don't think expanding the scope of Multisite API would be a good choice. It would break the Rule of Modularity: Write simple parts connected by clean interfaces:

P.S. The note on the module page about "because of how paranoid people are" seems like a poor choice of words to me. My clients are concerned about security because they've been hacked in the past on "secure" systems.
