I think the reason reification didn't get thrown out in RDF 2004 was that: a) Jena supported it b) enough Jena users found it useful The HP rep was not a fan of reification, but given b) was obliged to represent that point of view; the other voices against reification were not prepared to argue against an installed user base. If we wish to drop reification, we need to have a replacement, and a migration strategy. We didn't have those in 2003/2004, and we still don't.
