Indicate weekends in burndown charts
In burndown charts, it would be helpful to know when a team is not working, so that team members can visually parse the chart and understand why there are (or should be) flat areas.
It would involve additional complexity to allow adding custom dates and holidays to the chart. The first iteration here is just indicating weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).
Most teams do not work on weekends, so this would be immediately useful. Furthermore, the visual indicator does not imply that a team doesn't work on a given weekend, it's just additional information on the chart to help teams visualize relative dates.
See the visual in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4375 as an example.
