I agree with Andy's comment on the blog post that it doesn't really make sense for VIAF to store all the Wikipedia links to a given topic

The blog post mentions only Wikipedia links. And, in fact, doing a search on test.viaf.org, you will get only records containing links to Wikipedia.
I'm not particularly surprised on this, since the Wikimedia Foundation never does nothing to help "sister" projects
What does this have to do with WMF? OCLC are independent actors, reusing Wikidata content as anyone may do, without having to consult or involve the WMF.
