I don't care whether the idea comes from a large vendor or not, as long as
it's a good idea. And I agree that the investment of energy by a large
vendor can go a long way to help make a good idea successful.
However I don't believe that "sufficient interest" is a reliable indicator of
which ideas merit IETF investment of energy. I'm not even sure I'd accept
"rough consensus" as such an indicator.
