In the host and folder attribute configuration, previous Checkmk versions allowed the user to select all configured remote sites. This included status only sites and remote sites Checkmk is replicating the configuration to.

The setup is not able to replicate configurations to status only sites. For this reason it does not make sense to configure status only sites on hosts or folders. This change now excludes the status only sites from these attributes.
