Rename item #12 in console menu
The console menu item #12 (_"pfSense/$product developer shell"_) has a pointless title that doesn't help users much. It also actively obscures from router admins the useful tools it contains which is a negative side-effect. * Describing it as a "developer" shell is redundant; it appears to try and obscure the fact it is useful to non-devs too. pfSsh.php isn't any more or less a "developer shell" than any other shell provided. Both shells can be used by developers or by end-user router admins, but its title of "dev tool" suggests it contains nothing of relevance to an end-user admin, which is very incorrect - it contains very useful packaged tools and versatility, to get the router recovered from a bad borking or if the web UI can't be used for any reason. * It also isn't just a "pfSense/$product" shell. It's a full-fledged PHP shell, and obscuring this also hides its usefulness. It's unlikely that non-dev users will "mess things up more with it" or "need protecting from themselves" - any user prone to do so would already have used option #8 and full shell access for that purpose. Renaming the menu item should help end-user admins, as the discoverability and usefulness that pfSsh.php provides will be more readily visible to users who might benefit from it.
