Clearpath might not be a spinoff, but we were quite possibly the second company (outside of Willow Garage) to publicly adopt and back ROS.
Our original statement with respect to the "end of Willow Garage" can be found here, and I see nothing that would alter our position since then.
We're seeing a continued uptake of ROS across individuals, students, researchers, and corporations, and Brian Gerkey (CEO of OSRF) spoke on this a little bit in his opening remarks at ROSCon 2014 (skip to ~7:00).
As for the PR2 platform, it's still under heavy use, with some research groups using it ~20(!) hours/day during busy periods. We're also in the process of releasing 230(!!) packages with the Hydro update to the entire community, not to mention servicing and upgrading the physical robots as needed.
