Comment(by jimisaacs):

 Common sense hit me in the face again. It's a love hate relationship with
 me and common sense ;)

 Anyway, there is a reason the multisite functionality includes simple
 conditionals. That way the multisite conditionals can be integrated
 directly into what ever way I figure out how to relate everything to the
 conditional contexts that I mentioned before. So in my mind, a person can
 have the same control for is_home(), is_single(), is_logged_in() as with
 is_multisite() and is_main_site().

 It is nice that all of these conditionals are simple global helpers, but I
 am wandering if there are plans for the future to make these more dynamic?
 Is there any talk of maybe allowing access to something like a conditional
 array or object a developer can just check all in one shot? Or should I
 continue to think about hardcoding the conditional functions or using them
 as callbacks?
