I think to possibly just push this forward into a different way of thinking is to stop updating Vocaloids because 10 of the 29 Vocaloid releases thus far of the Vocaloid3 generation are updates which we still have MEIKO V3 to come and galaco, Luka and from what they're saying Rin and Len. Truly there are very minor differences from what I can hear in Miku V2 and V3 and she didn't need an update at all because I'm pretty sure they would have still sold a lot of her voicebanks still regardless. Only update the Vocaloids that need updating really like with Luka alone in her beta demo I could hear her being clearer already which is what should become of the updates rather than to just transfer the voice banks to the next generation and make more money off of it sadly. (though Internet Co.,Ltd. kind of has an excuse since they're always rushing Vocaloids and getting poor quality results in which they never sound like their voice provider anymore *cough Lily V2, CUL, galaco;)

Companies just need to stop listening to everything the fans claim they want and produce Vocaloid they think we would need or look at what is successful and aim for that. What quality did Miku and IA have that made them so successful? Miku was just the first of her kind really and obviously all vocals that were similar to her aren't received well. IA she has a wide range of vocal tones being able to be a soparano vocal but can also sound well in her bass vocals as well as lower and higher sounding pitches on top of how clear she is.

Honestly we may just need more Vocaloids like IA where they are truly unique and a standalone vocal rather than getting hyped about multi-language Vocaloids when we already have Vocaloids with similar mixing capabilities and accents. There was a reason why Vocaloid failed as a marketing product in the USA at first. The only reason why its popular now is because of the Japanese Vocaloids rather than the English ones.

But overall the fans also need to stop expecting that updating any of the old Vocaloids will automatically make them better or popular. Just be satisfied with what you have now and what was made to be today. If you like the Vocaloid then good for you, you like a voice and listen to it often. Can't expect this to happen though at all because people don't change. They're like this with all things they otaku over. XD
