Comment (by dd32):

 Strictly speaking, generally, local development sites should already be
 excluded through some heuristics in the pre-filter for the stat
 aggregations.

 Sending the environment type with update API requests would however make
 that easier, as it could discard any non-production sites much earlier in
 the filtering.

 I would be shocked if non-production environment type values account for
 more than a tiny fraction of a percentage point of sites in the aggregated
 stats though.

 No meta ticket required at this point in time, if the environment type
 gets added to the payload that's sent, open a meta ticket at that point in
 time for API implementation.
