 The Site attributes field when Editing a subsite on a multisite network
 has a few checkboxes available - Public, Archived, Spam, Deleted or
 Mature.
 Can this be updated to be a drop-down instead of multiple checkboxes?
 I need to measure how many live sites we have on a network, and these
 checkboxes are not very clear. It can have no checkboxes selected. It can
 have Public and Archive both selected. Most of these seem to be the Site
 Status, except the "Mature" checkbox (which you could separate out for
 search engines). "Spam" - really? Who would select their own site as a
 Spam site? No one. I would like the options to be "In Development" (and
 discourage search engines from indexing), "Public" and "Archived" - and a
 site can only be in one of those statuses. It's really confusing that this
 is not clear, but it's how you measure how many sites in what status on
 the Network Admin area for sites. I've had to go into the database to
 clean up this data to make sites either Public or Archived - so those
 numbers add up to the All sites number. This would help many WordPress
 Admins!
