Every time I read these discussions (I tend to save time by doing something more productive) they seem to be talking hypothetically about future plans which are always a year or two away, before we can see anything I could realistically and systematically incorporate into a batch upload, without it being considered highly experimental. I think it's already too late to do anything meaningful to bring Wikidata to Commons in 2014, as I don't even see a community agreed plan being presented at Wikimania rather than more of the same promotional and hypothetical presentations about what Wikidata might be able to do; if I have missed a plan with committed dates, perhaps someone could provide a link in this thread.
I understand you've not seen much until now. But look at it from the other side. Over the last two years we've created the base with Wikidata. Over the next year we'll be expanding it to Commons. There is still a lot of groundwork to do over the next months for us before you can see something visible. But the point is you will. Over the next week the Wikidata and the Multimedia team will publish more plans. What is published so far has already been linked in this thread by David.
