I think a requirement for it to work is that everyone is aware of it. If you
violate specifications you would break most of the parts.
I Don't think it can not work well, is more of a question of adoption to the
diagrams.

Apparently most of the developers are already aware of the interfaces etc
and diagrams would just add overhead as what I have noticed from previus
posts on the mailing list from the early development.
