Well, the local wiki still needs to notice that something changed on wikidata.
That would require some sort of push, even if that push is just a purge. So this
would mean pushing *and* pulling, which makes things more complex instead of
simpler. Or am I missing something?

Alternatively, once could poll for changes regularly. That's a ton of overhead,
though: the majority of pages will need to be kept in sync with wikidata,
because they have at least their languagelinks there.
