My "cherry-picking" answers are inline:
== embedding in mw or not / can we look at both?
==
And we do want embedding, right? And the MW extension would require
-lite, or wouldn't it?
Can we setup 2 labs instances, one with classic and one with -lite and
a mediawiki instance, so users can already
see how embedded pads feel and then vote for having them. (and/or also
which etherpad version)
Again, no embedding. Let's ignore this exists. It's great that Thomas
wrote this for MediaWiki, but it's not a production-level solution.
I am
interested to know why do you think my work is not production-level
? The only thing to improve is
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319 . Perhaps I/we can
fix this at or until the hackathon.

EtherpadLite (EPL) works well.
What is neither working in EP nor in EPL but I proposed that already in
https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/issues/190
is "Ultra feature request: make etherpad-lite offline-capable (HTML5)"

Would be possible. Urls are looking the same,

Bugzilla has already two components where the aspects could
perhaps be
filed as "enhancement":
i)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia&componen…
ii)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions…
