Well it didn't seem to cause a problem for all of the statements imported from the various Wikipedias. It also doesn't seem to cause a problem for anybody using the enwiki 'short description helper', which silently and invisibly adds a Wikidata description whenever the enwiki short description is added. I'm not seeing any difference in licensing issues between that and the proposed updating bot. Wikidata remains unsuitable as a repository for article descriptions because of (1) its tardy response to vandalism of the description field; (2) the inability of a mechanism to validate the description field; (3) the lack of a mature and nuanced BLP policy that would prevent subtle but serious breaches of enwiki policies on living persons.
