Review Comment: OK. Let me know @BasPH and @jscheffl what you think now. We should - of course - tweak it still a bit (better icons as discussed below and possibly play a bit with graphviz/diagram layout to add some margins and get it a bit more readable. Plus I can add a few links to other parts of the documentation when I am mentioning other pieces - to get it all nicely hyperlinked. But I **think** this one might achieve good balance between the simplicity and being able to explain concepts and architecture in "gradually more complex" ways - without overloading the users who just want to install airflow and use it locally. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
