Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 >  those relying on checking the environment type should ideally have a
 fallback if it's an unrecognized type

 What should it fallback to though? Perhaps `development`? But then if you
 have an environment that should be more like `staging` you don't have any
 way about it.

 The environment should be used a proxy for defining certain behavior,
 which I think only works if the list is constrained.
