I remember that petition, it was misleading. They were never going to delete Galaco. IT came out during the period when Galaco was hanging by a line since they couldn't release non-expiring codes. The group said they were working to get her permanently stable even before the petition took place. The petition was a worthless effort.

It did annoy me that people celebrated how their efforts save Galaco at the time, when in due respects they contributed nothing to saving Galaco since she was already being worked upon. They basically were saying the efforts of a bunch of random people overseas who won't buy the product "saved" her when she was aimed at the Japanese market from the start and had a strong Japanese support. Bare in mind, the Japanese didn't rush to make a petition, they knew from the start what was going on. ¬_¬'

Galaco was a exclusive "prize" for people of the competition. May have intended to stay that way, but she was stuck basically in demo mode and was forever expiring. The other issue is her handling was related to the Vocaloid store and it was closing down. So if they hadn't gotten Galaco out, when the store went that would have been the end of Galaco.

So yes, there was never a time when Galaco "was going to be deleted" and the petition for worthless.
