Well, how do you go about upgrading all those sites?

Say you're moving to a new version, and it requires accessing upgrade.php to
update the database schema (like upgrading to 2.3)
You still have to run upgrade.php for each site's DB one-by-one.. (unless
you shell-script a wget command for upgrade.php for all subdomains?)
