Swimlane concept in burndown reflects statuses and not swimlanes

Problem/Motivation

The Swimlanes in the Burndown module really match more closely what Jira and other systems refer to as statuses or ticket states. They're columns of stages a ticket moves through (e.g., To Do, In Progress) rather than rows which cross cut statuses and reflect things like Expedited tickets.

I'd love to see Burndown have a standard swimlane definition, but at the least it seems like the current concept should be renamed to "Status" or something.

For comparison, this is how Burndown uses Swimlanes

This screenshot from Jira shows three statuses (boxed in green): To Do. In Progress, and Done; and two swimlanes (boxed in blue): Expedited and Everything Else.

If I understand correctly, this request is to align with a practice is already widespread among "users of project management" (thanks to jira), so consider adopting it...

Conceptually, "swimlanes" can be arranged horizontal or vertical. So, I wonder if this could be solved by a simple "string override" ( https://www.drupal.org/project/stringoverrides → ), instead?
