Ahsoft have never displayed interest in updating their vocals and Iroha is joint owned by Sanrio... So its also less likely.

Also, I don't sometimes think the Appends add much. I queried why so many fans want a "Power" version of Luka on VO recently when the intention of her vocal was not that. Also, peoples' ideas of what some appends are also are incorrect. In the aforementioned "Power", "Power" means having a strong bass and treble but a lot of the fans at VO think of Append as having a strong tone or vocal overall. Often, these things are a result.

The other issue I tried to bring up is, that when I think of "Power" from CFM Vocaloids, I think of the Kagamines... Who are the CFM "power" type vocals. Their "power" appends enhance this even more. And in point, I noted that there are displayed concerns with Act1 Kagamines that almost cause the Meiko Power to never make it into publishing... "Power" appends tend to suffer from issues with quality over the smoother, softer appends.

Finally, I also note that each Append has many traits the original vocal has, so things are there that cannot be overcomes. In contrast, a change of vocalists to produce a new Vocaloid results in much more variation then any 1 Append offers. To the point where 2 of Miku's 6 appends sound so similar to each other, and producing vocals which are not only distinct, but useful, also has to be expressed.

Unfortunately, my notes and pleas on why its not necessary a good thing that a Append is produce tend to be ridiculed too much to be taken seriously.... Regardless, I like Iroha, but she hasn't been popular enough to warrant updates. :-/
