Earnie, I tend to agree with you. My live sites generally are single site setups, so which directory I use is not an issue. But my development sites on my local PC are all done in multisite, hence the problem. Taking those down for maintenance is not a problem since most are not even up at any given time. If I ever figure out Git's Auto-Deploy, this may change in the future.

I learned some time ago that it is easier for me to use
sites/example.com/modules instead of sites/all/modules. I simply
cannot bring all sites down for maintenance when a module is upgraded,
I upgrade them one at a time.
