It's not true that NFR has never had a remote exploit.

I may be mis-reading the statement, but I discovered and published an advisory for a remote root vulnerability in NFR back when I worked at Network Associates.

I agree with your comments about writing good signatures. We released a whitepaper a couple of years back in an effort to teach people how to write good signatures using the NFR product, and even though we've had our signatures openly readable since day 1, we've never had a remote exploit. (well okay, we didn't actually have signatures on day 1, but you know what i mean. ;) )
