Congratulations on 26.1 (plus a small request)

First of all congratulations with the 26.1 release and more importantly THANKS!

For me everything works as expected and I had no issues upgrading.
And for what it is worth, the entire thing feels a tad snappier as well which is not something I expected.

And here is the small request that I sneakily and totally accidentally wanted to mention :)

I don't use everything in the menu, and I expect not everybody else does either. For example stuff like the firewall->legacy rules and the services->ISC DHCP are relevant to mention these days.
It would be great if it was possible to click a button to hide (or shade) the services/features that I don't (often) use from the menu. And of course a menu button to globally override all hidden items so that everything comes back if you need to enable it / look at something you don't often look at (kind of like a favorites menu or like how "full help" works today). I am getting old and more easily confused by clutter.

Without detracting from your general point with which I agree, if you are on 26.1 and not using ISC DHCP then go to -->firmware-->plugins and bin it. The menu vanishes.

Was thinking about requesting something like that too for a time now :)

I would then add the stuff I like to check often like DHCP Leases/ARP Cache and ofcourse everything related to my network that I am actually using at the moment.

You could also have a Group in the Favorites section where each group would be all settings related to one specific Network/VLAN/Subnet or the WAN for example.
