Comment (by elrae):

 Why would someone create content on a staging site and push the database
 live without taking into account dev URLs? Typically you should never push
 content upstream, only downstream and updates made on the live site. Any
 time we do for some reason (very rare) move a db from stage to live we
 always take into account that data may not be fully correct. If Yoast is
 detecting a stage environment and not populating metadata that it does on
 live, that could potentially cause errors in scripts that wouldn't show up
 until live. what if my db has settings that don't allow Yoast to create
 stuff like in 14.0, or if my tables are so large the queries will bog down
 my db. Now i'm pushing code to my production that functioned differently
 and things will start dying on production.
