Either a community with the will and the energy to fork it, or some
kind of serious commitment to the project from Cisco/Sourcefire which
wouldn't be so laughable for a company with over seventy thousand
employees.

Cisco figures, for anyone interested (Wikipedia/Cisco_Systems today):

Revenue
   US$ 48.0 billion
Net income
   US$ 9.6 billion
Total assets
   US$ 129.8 billion

It seems to me that Cisco, having taken what it wants from the project
to use in things that it sells, would be very happy for it to die -
but it can't be seen to just kill it, because that wouldn't look well.
I'd love for them to show (*) me that I'm wrong.

(*) Not tell.
