It has to be maintained by hand, and can't be parsed to do anything more useful (like turn it into an image). In addition, formatting differences between the different projects have led to minor differenes that are difficult to merge. I'd like to turn this into into a dot file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)) which is a more natural format for a graph. Any objections? It isn't used for much beyond documentation so changing the format isn't expected to cause any negative effects. -- Eitan Adler
