 Hmm, I agree with not making the port heavier.  The docproj's TeX
 dependency is one of what we want to remove, and keeping it small is
 always our goal.  graphviz is a powerful tool, but it needs X IIRC
 (docproj has a no X11 option).

 How about putting statically-generated graphs or pic graphs like ones
 in doc/share/images/articles/releng for the moment?  The
 mentor-mentee graph is not so complex, so it is not impossible, I
 think.  Adding the graphs looks great to me, but it does not always
 require the graphviz.
