While working with @Ayantaker on https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/17116, I left this explanation for using cmdstagers: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/17094#issuecomment-1270496633

They said it was useful, and I was somewhat surprised that we did not talk about using different approaches for the droppers vs cmd payloads , how they differed, and how to get each of them to launch, so I tried to incorporate the comment into our documentation.

Should probably take a look at https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/9209 and see if we can fix all the issues mentioned there. I know a few were fixed earlier but there are a few concerns noted there that may be possible to address in this PR.

Marking delayed until the comments mentioned above are addressed.

Looks like this is a first step to improving the docs, will land the intermediate documentation - and it can be iterated on in the future if there's the cycles free

Fair point, and yeah I agree on second review that this should have just been landed, thanks for calling me out on that, I'll keep that in mind for next time👍
