A suitable replacement - imho - it would be a free Wiab instance hosted by someone (or even several federating providers). Google did open almost all relevant code and is also working on providing wave export utility so anyone would be able to export all his waves from Google Wave into any Wiab server. However, if you ask me, Wiab is not really close to production ready quality - some critical features still missing and there are probably a bunch of bugs that need to be fixed. So, my guess is that Google Wave would stay up at least for one more year.
