Thank you for releasing it! I adopted wirefilter for a firewall rule testing project, firewalker [1]. But indeed, I wish Cloudflare kept maintaining its OSS version.

Unfortunately cloudflare has a poor OSS track record. Either not maintaining the public version, or promising to open things that then don't see the light of day (quicksilver database and replication, and their Rust reverse proxy and nginx/lua replacement - both of which were announced but never released).

Most of what is OSS at cloudflare came in from elsewhere (V8) or was needed for collaboration (IETF), rather than started at cloudflare and opened.
