For the latter mapping (rdfs:subClassOf) we were kind of hesitant weather
to include it or not. We decide to do but in the released dumps it is not
yet separated as a standalone dataset.
The only reason we allowed it was to use it as feedback for the DBpedia
ontology. With post-processing we can translate things to DBpedia classes.

We got ~ 8M type statements using this mapping

I am not sure I understand you suggestion exactly. We already have
equivalent class links to Wikidata and the following as an open task
https://github.com/dbpedia/ontology-tracker/issues/5
Would something like this cover you or are you against standalone
ontologies in general?
Also note that DBpedia comprises of 125 wikipedia language editions,
Wikimedia Commons and now Wikidata, each as a separate dataset.
Thus, it is hard to make a class a real citizen in each dataset

Best,
Dimitris
