My only concern about importing them as-is is that dia is kind of tedious
to use and we'd need to be sure to update them for further changes.
(Documenting triggers will require changing those diagrams, for instance.)
They felt like they might be more maintainable in something like dot files
(for Graphviz).
That said, I don't think that concern should stop us from importing them.
Having them is clearly better than not having them.
