Did I miss a memo? When was it announced that Snort 3 would not be open source?

Snort is open source, until version 3. But that is a whole other argument.

No one is taking a vote, we just said, "if we had a vote in it..." I'd rather take the code out of the IDS/IPS and put it into an output module. One that is maintained well (as Shawn said).

Snort is an open source program, I don't see harm in discussion on Snort's own mailing lists do you?

Is Sourcefire limited on development skill or man power?

It makes no sense at all to remove one of the most common facilities
in use by snort users because it is "too complex".

In the end, you'll do what you are going to do regardless of the
community -- we've seen it before. But don't use "complexity" and
"bugs" as the excuse.

Sourcefire is a publicly traded company -- Is it smart to be taking
votes on product development from a mailing list? I wouldn't think so.
