I watched that too. It appears to be heavily reliant on *very* fast
internet access for participants in a wave. That's far from universal in
the Python community, let alone the internet at large.

It also appears to be heavily reliant on the wave's existence at a
single point of failure (the hosting server): if that one point becomes
unreliable, all participants are hosed.

Neither of these problems exist with email (or NNTP).
