Where are the DIA sources for these? It's impossible to evaluate how
maintainable these will be without seeing the source code.

Yeah, probably, at least for the first go-round.

-1 on that. The timeline thing is *certainly* not worth the maintenance
effort, if indeed it even belongs in the docs at all (it looks more like
marketing material). I think the lines-of-code diagram is not worth its
keep either.
One minor comment is that the page_layout diagram should say BLCKSZ not
8K, and the different-colored arrows in it don't really convey much ---
they need on-image labeling I think.
