We do realize (as does the Google Wave team) that Wave doesn't yet have all the functionality you rely on, and isn't yet as mature as EtherPad. We are confident that in the long term you will be really happy with Google Wave, though. That's why we decided to join them!

In regard to the use of EtherPad, note the direction being taken in the quote below.
