This makes me wonder: 1) Does Wikipedia / Wiki* not have a JS pan & zoom tool for graphics like these and 2) Has no one else made something like that just for this graphic?

Asking because the graphical linux genealogy concept / this illustration have been around for a while, as have JS pan & zoom plugins, and it's totally worth having something like this in that format.[1]

What you're asking for should ideally be supplied by your Web browser, not by Wikipedia.

Right, I had no problem zooming and panning on Firefox.

Next you’re going to ask for JS scroll bars…
