Some kind soul tweeted this:
New Firewall Rules Separators feature in 2.3 BETA allows you to add a description for a group of firewall rules!

I couldn't find any reference to this in the 2.3-BETA forum, so if duplicated, sorry, otherwise, have at it…

Now supports a choice of colors :)

w00t very nice! Keep up the good work.
Of course being able edit the text and change the color after you've saved the separator would be even nicer!
I dare say that this new GUI is treading beyond what's available in some commercial products.

It's nice but we need to be able to edit it.

You'll need to delete and re-add. Its a convenience feature, not a word processor :)

This one feature will bring a lot of clarity for me when going over bigger rule bases. Hats off to you Steve_B (or whoever did this work). This is the one big feature for me that I will be looking forward to. I have been creating dummy rules with descriptions but that really doesn't help a lot as it is not very easy to go through to find them.
