It's a done deal.
I don't think the editing function will ever go away; in fact have you guys signed up for Google's new map editing feature? Sure, the points scheme and things may change but it can only be good.
If anything it makes perfect sense for Google to buy Waze for so many reasons. Traffic update was abandoned by Google awhile back but now it'll be back and integrated. More data from Google means Waze will be accurate in finding various locations. Perhaps features of adding landmarks will probably go away in that sense as Google would have much bigger data already. That's only a guess though. Who knows how these two maps will be integrated.
I'm just thankful it didn't get bought out by Facebook...too early to speculate but I'm pretty optimistic with G buying W.
