I believe there is always room for improvement. So VY2 can be better, but the thing is... The recordings are now old. VY2v3 has existed for about 6 years, there are older. Technically the Megpoid "Native" vocal is more or less the same as it was in v2, just constantly being cleaned up further. This is why Gumi has part become a lacklustre vocal for me as Internet isn't really doing anything new to the vocal itself, just cleaning it up each time and currently adding new voicebanks that don't do much for Gumi overall.

A lot can happen in 6 years to both voicebank and provider. This is the situation with Yuki as it happens, as the girl(s) that were involved no longer can be contacted as they are out of touch with AHS. This is without considering the situation in this case of children aging.

I'm happy if the VY series retires because we have at the same time the continued re-releasing of the CV series and the CFM vocaloids as it is, in addition to Gumi's re-releasing... And Gackpo's. Its nice to have updates but sooner or later... Technology moves on and since Megpoid V4 was released I myself have criticised the updates. Right now the only big improvement to a Vocaloid comes from V1/V2 -> V5 and V3/V4 simply just update a license half the time for 4 more extra years. When you see a new engine release and you think "Here comes Hatsune Miku V5..." it can be a little sad because while Miku's vocal has never been the greatest, it also means things have become predictable. Its nice to see things move on from the VY series for this reason and allow room for new singers to lead the way.
