Nope, I speak for myself. Nether told anything else.
I don't really appreciate the tone, I think reasonator is really cool and
I'm probably one of the people who pushed its use the most in Wikidata. Do
you have a useful answer to your own question ?
One point is that Reasonator uses Wikidata query, who, last time I checked,
was not planned to be integrated into Wikibase. Wikibase will have its own
query engine. It would be a giant software architecture mess if the core
mediawiki/wikibase depends on external query engine.

Hoi,
One of the requisites as mentioned on the page by Lydia is that it is
usable on any and all projects. Relying on local only technoloy like
templates do not make sense.
Reasonator DOES provide functionality that is similar to what can be
achieved with templating. When a person has relatives, for instance it will
show. When something is in a particular location, it will show the
hierarchy. when there is a geo coordinate, it shows a map,
Now citing "political reasons" begs the question since when our community
decides NOT to implement things that are so manifestly in line what our
mission.
When you consider in build queries... That is what Reasonator offers for a
long long time.
Do you really know what Reasonator is about ? Do you speak for the
community ??
Thanks,
GerardM
