I'm trying to prepare the "sanity version" this weekend.  I don't 
want to delay the process any further by putting off this important 
preview of the review version.

Who is responsible for this diagram and when can they get a revision to me?

I will put the existing diagram in the "sanity version".

The hub document says it is involved in the process "Cyclic 
Replenishment Program" which led me to that incorrect conclusion.

I am removing it from the "sanity version" today.

I should be able to patch that diagram seamlessly.  I will let it be 
know if I need to have it redrawn.

If my conclusions are unacceptable, I'll produce a second preview 
version, but I'm going ahead with what I can today and await the 
artist of the drawing to get me the version to use for the actual review.
