Comment:

 In my humble opinion it creates confusion, as if there were multiple
 admin-ajax.php files, but there is just one. I only suggested an
 alternative that could co-exist, not a replacement of what is currently
 used. Your example quite differs from my situation. /wp-admin is a part of
 WordPress, but I'm using admin-ajax to fetch json data for single page
 application that lives outside of WordPress. It would very much make sense
 to call the file directly, that's why I created this ticket, it confused
 me. With the current approach you have to know whether network uses
 subdomains or directories, with this approach all you would need is blog
 id. I think it would be a move in the right direction.

 I'd very much prefer to use
 '''''domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=my_action&blog_id=4'''''
 than
 '''''domain.com/blog_path/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=my_action'''''
 AND
 '''''subdomain.domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=my_action'''''

 for making ajax calls outside of WordPress. Just my 2 cents.
