Based on a quick look at various Phabricator tickets and other information it appears to me that the only connection between the WDQS and Wikidata edit throttling is that a slowness parameter for the WDQS is used to modify a Wikidata parameter that is supposed to be checked by bots before they make edits. Further, it appears that the only reason for this connection is to slow down Wikidata edits so that the WDQS can keep up - the WDQS does not feed back into Wikidata edits, even edits by bots. So this connection could be severed by a trivial change to Wikidata and the only effect would be that the WDQS KB might lag behind Wikidata, either temporarily or permanently, and queries to the WDQS might become slow or even impossible without improvements to the WDQS infrastructure. I thus view it misleading to state in this Phabricator ticket that "performance issues [of the WDQS] cause edits on wikidata to be throttled", which gives the impression that the WDQS forms a part of the Wikidata editing process or some other essential part of Wikidata itself. There needs to be a very strong rationale to make breaking changes to the Wikidata RDFS dump. Just improving the performance of the WDQS is not enough for me.
