 > We were talking about this in IRC, it should be reserved_blognames for
 names we must absolutely block, such as blog, files, wp-includes, wp-
 content, etc. Illegal names can be changed in the admin and they should be
 for signups only.

 Users are not allowed to sign up with a '-' in the blogname. So, the only
 ones that need to be blocked are blog & files.

 Since we are expecting a basic level of competency in super admins, I am
 opposed to putting a hard coded block in that prevents super admins from
 creating wp- conflicting sites.
