Thanks Jeroen for your confirmation.
In another maillist, Yuri pointed me Wikidata API
roadmap<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Wikidata_API>.
I don't know with those changes, if my current use
("action=query&prop=revisions" and "action=query&list=recentchanges") will
be supported?
Some more background:
We are already using same way (polling recentchanges, and querying latest
revisions) to maintain our internal mirror of *.wikipedia.org, *.
wiktionary.org in sync. We expect to have similar (same) way to to maintain
wikidata.org. According to my experiment, it works fine so far.

@Yuri, do you have plan to implement some API to return such mapping?
