Yes and no. Yes, WDQS update is our current bottleneck in the infrastructure on handling the sheer amount of edits on Wikidata (which is a good thing) but if we fix this bottleneck and make scaling possible, we will sooner or later hit another bottleneck and maxlag is a not good way to help. We need to fix how we handle maxlag. I have been thinking about this and I think I have a suggestion. bots and tools, should respect maxlag **before** it reaches the threshold. We need to return the value of the maxlag in the API as well but tool developers should check the maxlag, even if it's 3 or 2 seconds, then wait for that amount and make the next edit after that (or just sleep exactly after the edit is made). This way they slow down before "they reach the threshold and then have to back off the let go back to normal and then they start the flood of edits again and so on and so forth." What do you think?
