I think we need both, but we definitely need one. I'd keep dev if we keep
anything. It's hard to troubleshoot problems without having the full data
available as many of the issues we've run into you can't see without a good
chunk of the wordpress data.
Vicky uses dev for testing PHP changes like she had to do with the root
theme, some parts broke with upgrade to newer PHP and it would only show
under certain data updates and she was working on that for a while.
Staging I used to use when I want everything exactly the same but need to
test a wordpress upgrade as upgrades sometimes breaks our theme and stuff.
But anyway for me a dev locally is pretty useless as I'm not on a Linux
machine. Using ansible is already annoying enough with my setup.
