Right, I asked the same thing on the ticket:

Hmm.  I don't fully understand the graph that you suggest.  Can you
attach a draft, maybe even something drawn on paper?

My initial reaction is that this is going to be a heavily overloaded
graph.  In particular putting three different scales on the y axis is
discouraged, I think.  Also, with all the different colors this graph
becomes pretty hard to understand for color-blind people.

If there's a way to overcome these problems, happy to brainstorm more
about the topic. :)

All the best,
Karsten
