Also looking to the future, statements on property pages (and on their corresponding talk pages) are unstable as they can be vandalized. To have a very stable external application that makes the most of the constraint table, a layer of stability will have to be introduced at some level. This layer can be fully assumed by the community of editors (for example, by semiprotecting property pages and/or by reviewing edits on these pages before they can be actually published), be provided at the level of the constraint table (for example, by only applying a constraint change if this change keeps stable for a certain minimum period of time, although this wouldn't let us enjoy constraints in real time), or at the level of every single external application that intensively uses Wikidata and requires a significant constraint stability (as in the previous case, this probably wouldn't let users/developers use constraints in real time).
Do you expect this layer of stability to be fully covered by the community and the developers of external applications? Otherwise, is it planned to provide some kind of stability to the constraint table itself?
