Suggested language acknowledging shelljs as a reasonable "production"…

Thanks.

However it does make sense to use this in many more kinds of production cases, including REST services and whatnot. Not all code in a service is involved in handling the service requests. For example think about loading configuration data (such as signing secrets and keys) from a configuration server at startup. A very reasonable use case that can be relevant to any kind of production app. Doing this synchronously can greatly simplify initialization that would otherwise have to be delayed using other mechanisms and which sometimes even includes loading of dependencies while causing minimal or no impact to performance or resource utilization.
