it runs on an OS that doesn’t support upstream updates,

Actually, I believe that updates are included in Enterprise Maintenance.

Endian's business model is similar to RHES and SLES. if you need updates , subscribe, and maybe with more subscriptions they can increase their development staff.

[ Just as importantly, Endian maintenance includes all security updates to every Endian application so that you can keep the devices protecting your network safe from security vulnerabilities. ]

Efw has a few problems that way - it’s a nice firewall, but it seems few ppl are working on it, it runs on an OS that doesn’t support upstream updates, and it's even difficult to know what OS it actually is in terms of wanting to install drivers or utils.
Guess that might make it more secure, but it seems difficult for some ppl. If 
it runs as-is on your hardware, and has everything you need, it’s great...

And is there any estimate date for the launch of version 2.3?


I guess that might depend on how long it takes to fix the last 31% of bugs listed on the roadmap: http://bugs.endian.it/roadmap_page.php which (to my intrained eye) seems to slowly keep growing.
Perhaps somone from Endian could chime in with a more definite timeline for 
completion of that release.
