Sorry, totally fell through the cracks. Thanks for taking care of documenting this feature! 🙏
I think I only found a small copy paste error or a detail I don't understand.

This add docs and release note for the kill gesture added in PX4/PX4-Autopilot#18509.
@MaEtUgR Can you please sanity check this. I am assuming, for example, that this applies to all frame types.
FWIW I think the difference between disarm, kill, and flight termination need to be clarified. My understanding is that
Is that about right? The reason I find it confusing is that there are so many things that seem to achieve "kind of" the same thing. As a user, should I disarm? Should I kill? Should I flight terminate? Why? When?
To me kill and disarm previously meant recoverable and unrecoverable motors off. Now you've added a kill gesture that isn't recoverable I don't know why you wouldn't just disarm? Then why not a flight termination switch so I can deploy a parachut.?
