Are those exhaustive criteria? The "e.g." infers otherwise.

It's a good question. I believe the answer is "yes, it's exhaustive", but I agree that the "e.g" implies otherwise.

<p>I would like to avoid the licensing error modal on a preproduction environment. Would <code>preprod.random.domain</code> work?</p>

<multi-environment><license><subdomain>
Does "preprod" count as a dev sounding sub-domain?

I would like to avoid the licensing error modal on a preproduction environment. Would `preprod.random.domain` work?

I have update the screenshot above accordingly.
