Thank you for the response. I love that systemmask would allow the root administrator to mark some modules as 'required', preventing a site admin from disabling something security related or such, although it would incur quite a bit of overhead whenever a new module was made available -- to run through each of the sites & hide is as needed.
Ideally, I'd be able to download a new organic group related module, place it in a folder (something like sites/all/bundles/og), thus making the new module available to any of my sub-sites that are configured to include 'sites/all/bundles/og' in their module path.
