Comment (by elrae):

 The fact that there isn't consensus on what else we should or shouldn't
 add (local, offline, etc) to me indicates why we need this filter. This
 isn't something people can easily add/edit/delete, if someone is changing
 the environment types and adding new ones they're likely a seasoned
 developer and know exactly what they're doing. Plugins don't have to worry
 about trying to handling any number of environment types. I don't expect
 Yoast or any other plugin to know or care what my environment type is, and
 it shouldn't be doing anything different. By the logic on this ticket why
 offer _any_ hooks / filters where users could potentially alter and break
 functionality? Developers should exercise caution any time they write
 custom code. I'm strongly against removing more flexibility and this
 change.
