I think it might take some time to rewrite and test the new interwiki bot. If the bot operators simply download the latest version, they will continue running the old one until its fixed. If we plan to deploy wikidata to all sites soon, there is really no point in running IW bots any more until their logic is substantially changed.

What about a bot to observe bot changes periodically and checking those for unwanted interwiki-operations?

We really ought to communicate with the bot owners to significantly modify their bots. It might even make sense to stop them all together until they can be re-designed to take wikidata into account. I could post a comment on most boards to ask IW bots to stop (and to notify the local communities that they should monitor IW bots changes and halt them).

Actually when wikidata is running on all wikis we only have to remove the iw-links inside all articles of the same wikidata item. The bots will not have any base for adding the links again and wont do it anymore.

we can make a call for a bot to check every wiki but for now ithink there is a very few wikis updated on wikidata so I don't think it's very good idea right now but for the future it's the only option so I'll work on it but not now

(thanks duh) If there is no error, wikibase is present, disable. This wayno update to the blacklist is needed. The query should be re-issued every 30 min to make sure it hasn't changed.
The sad part is that interwiki bot needs to be significantly reworked, so there is no big incentive to do any changes like this to it. It should be aware of wikidata, remove all data unless it is not in wikidata, etc. Lots of heuristical changes.
