Hoi,
When Commons gets the Wikidata treatment, almost everything that has to do with meta data will gain wikidata statements on the Wikidata item that reflects a media file (sound photo movie no matter). When items refer to "Creators" or "Institutions" they will refer to Wikidata proper.
This will replace much if not most of how information is stored about media files.
Pretty much almost everything will be impacted and that is what I expect to be reflected in considerations now because the alternative is that much of it will need to be revisited on a massive scale. Thanks, GerardM

On the Wikidata roadmap it says that Commons will be targeted for
inclusion
in the second half of 2014. This will have a big impact on Commons. Consequently it will have a big impact on the things that you are discussing. Chances are that much of what you come up with now will be obsolete in a few months time or even worse make the development of the inclusion of Wikidata into Commons even harder.
I find it odd that Wikidata is not mentioned at all in this overview.
Please elaborate where / in which specific areas you would have expected to see Wikidata being mentioned in Gergo's overview, as I cannot interpret the "consequently" in your statement yet.
