The only use case for a date picker I can think of is to set a date in an
infobox or other template (such as cleanup templates, which like to know
the month + year they were assigned). However, right now in VE templates
don't actually have full VE-enabled GUIs for editing their parameters. Just
autosuggest search and wikitext input areas. Correct? Another typical use
for a date picker, such as marking date of birth on a user profile, is
something we don't yet support and which should have Legal involved before
we do.

*TL;DR*: we'll build things like a date picker when we need them. It's cool
to have designs, but also really confusing to put them in mocks or a style
guide when they're not used. I'd encourage the UX team to make a special
"future/experimental" category that separates out these form types that
don't exist yet. This will reduce confused questions. ;)
