Update the Main Left-Side Navigation for the Package area to better reflect the product offering
Problem to solve
The main navigation, located on the left side of the GitLab user interface, currently has a "Packages" header which will (shortly) possibly contain:
- List
- Container Registry
- Helm Charts
- Dependency Proxy
As the Package stage feature grows and matures, the label "Package" might not continue to be appropriate. Users, durring a recent round of research, have commented on the navigation disconnect.
Intended users
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
- Sam (Security Analyst)

Further details
Here is a screenshot of the current UI, which contains List, Container Registry, and Dependency Proxy
Proposal
Change the navigation at the highest level from Package to Packages & Registries to better represent the features included, especially when you consider the addition of Helm Charts. We also exchange List for Package Registry.
Here is a UI example:
