I think also the concept of Meiko and Kaito being from the V1 series and counterparts is additionally starting to make the issue go away. Basically like Prima and Tonio, Meiko and Kaito were made for each other originally and that concept has mostly been kept in check, with understanding that Miku was part of the CV series. Plus, time is progressing the fandom, people aren't just interested in CFM anymore and the fans who the shipping have matured and aren't the young teens anymore. With maturity comes lessening of ignorance and mroe openness.

Additionally... Some fans have moved on, like all trends fans who came into the fandom initially out of trend-hype left with the next big thing that came along.

there is other factors like understanding what Vocaloid is now slowly kicking in.

So the shipping bickering has died down as a combination of many things, some bigger issues then others. :-/
