I think Wikidata editors are the ones that really need up-to-date query
results as a form of feedback (e.g., to check if imports are okay or
QuickStatements batches are done right).

It might make sense to explore having two WDQS instances:
1. Public instance that is only updated daily or even weekly
2. Community instance that is up-to-date and where you need to log-in with
your Wikimedia user account and therefore we can control access to via
whitelisting or blacklisting
