--------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The current Network Admin → Sites screen is still based on the legacy
 WP_List_Table implementation. To align it with modern WordPress
 interfaces, we propose re-implementing this screen using `DataViews` and
 `DataForm` from the Gutenberg project.

 This would improve consistency across the admin, provide more flexible
 filtering and bulk actions, and make the codebase easier to extend and
 maintain.

 Initial steps:

 - Create or re-use the container in the Network Admin where the JS
 application will be mounted.
 - Create a REST API endpoint that exposes get_sites() via GET.
 - Add scripts to interact with this endpoint using `DataViews`.
 - Create a REST API endpoint that accepts POST requests to save changes.
 - Add scripts to interact with this endpoint using `DataForm`.

 Notes:
 - This is a feature request and will require time and several iterations.
 - The first implementation can be minimal (just listing sites), with
 filters, sorting, and bulk actions added in later iterations.
 - Feedback from both developers and multisite users will be crucial in
 shaping the final interface.
