production at Wikidata?
Absolutely the most important thing about Wikidata is the deep
integration (both technical and social) into the Wikipedia universe.
Building a sensible query framework for a system working at Wikipedia

trivial. I've glad to hear that Wikidata are taking the time to do
this carefully.
