Demote snippets from Editor category to feature under Source Code Management category
Demote Snippets to a feature and move it to the Source Code management category.
Additional detail and rationale here.
Closes gitlab-org/create-stage#12995 (closed)
TL;DR:
- Snippets aligns more closely with the personas and JTBD in the Source Code Management category
- Snippets is more appropriate as a feature versus a category because the scope of the product set is small and it is not recognized by analysts as a distinct product for which there exists competing companies solely focused on the offering.
- There is an organization-wide effort to get to 8 categories per stage. This change will put the Create stage at 8 categories allowing us to move Git LFS back to Source Code from Package where the category has lived for a couple years purely on the basis of needing Create to only have 8 categories.
