New description:

 Posts & Media have "states". (See `_media_states()` & `_post_states()` for
 more.)

 It would be nice if this paradigm existed for Sites, too, beyond just
 statuses. It would allow plugins to extend those states, for example,
 having "Protected" sites that cannot be deleted, even by super admins, or
 to communicate to network admins which site is the "Main" site in the
 network, which right now is not visually conveyed to the user.

Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Editing the title & description to focus on adding the filter & debating
 the correct approach going forward for improving site-states.
