Make "site" an entity type

It would be nice if a site would be made it's own entity type. This would provide several benefits and would make monitoring and reporting alot more flexible.

Some benefits that come to mind :

Fieldable - You could add any field you want to a site. If you would like to add a title field, image, owner, comments, relations etc, it's all supported (often) out of the box. You could even add different bundles for different kind of sites
Views Integration - you could easily create custom listings with own filters, sorting, layouts, exports etc.
Many more integrations with other modules (rules etc)
CRUD for creating and managing site entities
Entity access - you could give specific access to sites via contrib modules (OG, own sites only, workflow etc)
Much easier unit testing
This module would be easier to integrate in other sites (fe. commerce , aegir, ...)
...

This would mean a major rewrite, but I think this would be an awesome improvement for a new branch.
What do you think?

Won't be fixed for 7.x anymore but we should check if this is already the case for 8.x! :)

Seems like this was implemented! Not as "Site" but instead as "Production Check". At least the "7.x-2.x-dev" was merged a while ago, so I think people forgot to close this issue!?
