 * 1) Tone Rion has fans... Believe it or not... IF we all shared the same opinions, it would be boring. She isn't my up of tea either, but every Vocaloid vocal is a option a producer may want.  Just because I like her not,  I wouldn't want someone to be deprieved of the chance to get her.  I like Leon, Lola and Miriam, they cannot be purchased anymore... I know how it feels to see something you like no longer be up to be bought in Vocaloid.  And with this month closing the chapter on V2, its cruel to say a Vocaloid should disappear.  Plus.. After the stupidity that was the Galaco (VOCALOID3) Prize retirement, there will likely be just as much of a "protest" with no impact... I do not like fans making idiots of themselves, and the less chance of giving them that the better it is.
 * 2) V4 likely won't introduce new languages, look forward to V5... Sadly if Status is any indication, the next version won't list that.
 * 3) Maybe, she is Yamaha's own or "VY3". Again I'd expect it more V5 or V6. It takes a long time to make new vocals, especially with English... That can take a year and a half.
 * 4) No... As much as I like any vocaloid getting moved to an engine version. The differences between V3 and V4 amount to a few new tricks within the engine that has no build effect on vocal library builds, GWL and XSY.  Kaito and Meiko can already access XSY, so the only reason to update is GWL.  See Rana as a reference, if the vocal is only giving you GWL, there is almost no reason to buy it.  While EVEC maybe an option for them, right now there is no indication CFM are up to do it.  And their not part of the Character Vocal Series and were the original VY1 and VY2 and were never Crypton's original creations. With EVEC (particular with Luka V4) producing the same situation as Megpoid V4, in that more tones for a Vocaloid don't ness. mean more usefulness.... I would rather they wait for V5, and receive a more useful overall update with a bigger differene then V4 when there is barely any reason to update in my opinion. Their V3 update was just because V was retired, to keep using the image of Kaito and Meiko CFM had to give them updates to renew everything.
 * 5) If Meiko and Kaito V4 go ahead, I don't know if CV04 will happen. Wait it until Miku V4x is finished and we may see a new vocal at last as Wat said they will not make new vocals until current vocals are upgraded.  Take note, Megurine Luka was designed to be the end of the CV series, so CV04 is an unplanned extra or "bonus" vocal.  They were going to move onto other things like Project if....
 * 6) Stella is a Controversy Concerns-level vocal. She is best forgotten, get over it. XSY-modding is a no-no and his motives were questionable.  Had Stella's albums gone to sale, under their claim of being for charity, Planty-P may not have even given the money he made to charity and kept the profits.  He was using Vocaloid as a name to get a status, his behaviour is shunned and Stella is tainted by his actions.  I would not discount "Stella" as a name for a future Vocaloid, but the hoax "Stella" is best being buried with a stake through her heart in a canyon sized hole, with acid poured on her and forgotten.
