Right, as smooge says there was once a wordpress-mu setup in
infrastructure. However, people really didn't use it much at all and it
was a pain to keep going with security updates, plugins, etc, etc. 

So, we retired it and suggested people should move to wordpress.com as
they were open source and friendly and did this for a living. 

However, it seems like instead folks have moved to hosting their own
stuff in openshift. Which is fine, but it means things are spread out
with everyone maintaining their own instances, etc. 

Perhaps we should gather stakeholders and see what makes more sense
moving forward? Perhaps we could approach wordpress.com and ask them
for some N sites? Or if people are really using them and we have a
strong group of maintainers we could look at hosting them in
infrastructure again. Or I suppose we could just leave it with everyone
hosting their own stuff in openshift.
