  FWIW, I have already changed my code to work with either `claims` or 
`statements`. Quick thoughts:
  
  - IMHO this change is too significant to do it "just because it's a nicer 
word". No one really cares what it's called, as long as you call it the same 
thing every time.
  - A big problem with this change that it was not announced anywhere I did 
see, and I'm pretty much subscribed to everything public. Give us poor 
volunteer devs some warning, at least
  - Also, it's inconsistent. Wikidata items and properties have `claims`, 
mediainfo items have `statements`. Is this going to change on Wikidata as well? 
Wikibase in general?
  - Other things have changes in the Commons/mediainfo implementation. 
`datatype` is missing, for one (tracked by some other issue here). Will it come 
back? Will it stay missing but only for `mediainfo`?
  
  The problem is not that things are different, they are different needlessly 
(AFAICT), and unannounced.
