I've a blog post in the works about qualified/reified/n-ary relations. RDF-star is not a good fit in cases where someone may occupy a cubicle for two or more intervals, you still end up modeling occupancy as a node/resource one way or another.

Right - temporal modelling, or any form of conditional truth, should not be done as simple adornment of a triple. Violates monotonicity.

A triple in the graph is a fact regardless of anything else. You need 4D ontology or n-ary relates or event based modeling or ... Can't annotate existing triples to do the same thing. (Sim. its an antipattern in LPG)

Granted, we still need to find the successful patterns of when to use RDF-star vs. when to use quads. But I think there is room for both.
(in the end, all you need are zeros and ones, and still we invent more complex languages 馃槈)
