pg_catalog tables don't have constraints?

Hi,

I've been exploring the pg_catalog tables and pointed a couple of
tools at it to extract an ER diagram for a blog post. At first I
thought it was a bug in the drawing tool but it appears that the
relationships between the pg_catalog tables are implicit rather than
enforced by the database, is that correct?

For example, pg_class has relnamespace which according to the
documentation refers to pg_namespace.oid
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/catalog-pg-class.html),
yet there is no FK there as far as I can see. Maybe I am missing
something or there is an interesting story as to why?

Thanks,
Neil
