I still think that the right place to have explanatory diagrams is in
the official documentation and not a wiki or external document with
pointers to other documents/presentations.

They would make some important parts of the documentation much more
easier to understand. This is especially important for new users of
PostgreSQL and users who are trying to get an overview of PostgreSQL in
a evaluation process.

I know that most contributors have more than enough to do with the new
release, and I don't want to create more work at this time. So maybe it
will be better to fight this battle after 9.0 is released. :-)
