I'm pretty sure stakkur means mermaidjs is a bad option for markdown, as its source form is not "useful" as a diagram, and that it's actually GitHub which is saying every "markdown parser (/renderer) should support building diagrams as well" since they're encouraging its use by supporting the syntax.

The real criticism of the original comment is that markdown has never really been "portable"; yes there's now a hard dependency (for some definition of "hard") on mermaidjs for GitHub-flavored-markdown, but that actually brings it in line with other implementations. So has portability been obviated or just slightly changed?
