I think that Wikidata content metrics favor long term retention (i.e. forever) because their purpose is to evaluate dynamics over both short and long period intervals. Since content is always changing, recreation of a past state from live data is not possible. The value of these historical measurement "snapshots" is therefore quite high. These old data are never archived either and must be able to be retrieved without loading a dump or using some offline process. In contrast, ops metrics are much more focused on the present and/or recent state. Thus, two different use cases exist here. If the proposal to use Graphite can substantiate a long term ( not decaying ) storage method, then it should work for both. If not, then something else (like OpenTSDB/ HBase) should be implemented.
