 > ​http://example.com/boone/2014/01/09/hello-world/ will point toward a WP
 secondary BLOG post called "hello-world"

 Yup, that's what I meant :) This confirms that your use case is very edge
 case.

 BP.

 Well, I don't really know off the top of my head what those hooks would
 be. I guess my suggestion is to start building a plugin that does what
 you're suggesting, and see where it leads you. You'll probably need a
 custom sunrise.php file (which is loaded in time for you to do custom
 logic to set `$current_blog` - see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.8/src/wp-includes/ms-
 settings.php#L17). You'll have to toy with various ways of deciding which
 blog should be loaded at this point (a regex for bloggish paths like
 /2014/01/ might work?)

 If you run into a place where BuddyPress in particular is getting in your
 way, please feel free to offer a suggestion.

 Let's leave this ticket open to consider imath's
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5332/5332-illegal-
 names.diff. At a glance, this looks like a good solution to problem of
 username/blogname clashes when running root profiles.
