Text description of Issues seems outdated
The about.gitlab.com
site refers to Issues as "a flexible and powerful issue tracker that scales from small teams to large complex organizations" and in the docs at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/
we refer to Issues as "an advanced and complete tool for tracking the evolution of a new idea or the process of solving a problem" ... but in the application itself under Settings/General it says "lightweight issue tracking system" ... is it possible that copy is a little dated and maybe should be updated to reflect more of the marketing and documentation language?
Solution
Updated verbiage will be, "Flexible, powerful tool for collaboratively developing ideas and planning work within this project".
