+	 * - $NET_CFG (EE_Network_Config): The config is shared network wide so no need to reset.
+	 * - $REQ:  Still on the same request so no need to change.
+	 * - $CAP: There is no site specific state in the EE_Capability class.
+	 * - $SSN: Although ideally, the session should not be shared between site switches, we can't reset it because only one Session
+	 *         can be active in a single request.  Resetting could resolve in "headers already sent" errors.
+	 * - $addons:  In multisite, the state of the addons is something controlled via hooks etc in a normal request.  So
+	 *             for now, we won't reset the addons because it could break calls to an add-ons class/methods in the

+	 *                                  the Registry to its state at the beginning of the request
+	 * @param boolean $reinstantiate    whether to create new instances of EE_Registry's singletons too,
+	 *                                  or just reset without re-instantiating (handy to set to FALSE if you're not sure if you CAN
+	 *                                  currently reinstantiate the singletons at the moment)
+	 * @param   bool  $reset_models     Defaults to true.  When false, then the models are not reset.  This is so client
