Daniel Kinzler has finished up what we hope is the final round of changes to the Wikidata branch, which Tim Starling needs to review prior to merging into master. There is currently a discussion about the best way of storing a local copy of the Wikidata-based language links. See the wikitech-l thread about Wikidata blockers for more information.
