It's really too early to make all these decisions. We're still at least a year away from any significant progress towards Wiktionary unless anything changes. Until then we will have learned a lot more and a lot of things will have changed. Let's focus on the next big things and not lose focus: queries and Commons support :)
Ah, don't worry Daniel's answer regarding future W item connection was enough concerning Wiktionary. I also want to see queries and Commons support soon :-)
My main motivation to start this discussion was linked with the planned UI revamp. That is what the user sees and it conveys meaning, and not only that, users learn it and get attached to it. If there is any change to be made to labels/aliases it would be better to do it before, and to plan the mockups with those changes in mind.
I remember that you mentioned that external identifier statements should appear in another area of the screen? I don't know which mechanism would be used to accomplish that, but maybe it would help if the same method is applied to properties that represent a label? Just giving ideas, I have no preference, actually everything would be better than having to maintain (repeated) aliases by bot :)
