I'm setting this to "needs >1 ACK" without any formal need because it's a statement of very broad expectations. |

Contribution description
To my understanding it is widely understood in the community that shell access is equivalent to root access on the device -- a) because modules are additive and shell commands are easily pulled in that allow all kinds of access, and b) because string parsing is hard.
This states this plainly in the documentation.
