I doubt this will get answer, but I'll ask anyway. With the newer libraries doing legato (among other things) with more reverberant samples, is VSL still planning to record samples as dry as possible, or are you guys considering doing recordings in a more reverberant space? It seems to me that it can be hard to get a good sound with totally dry samples, and even a little bit of room in the mics can make a big difference.
If the rumored choir library is recorded as dry as the VSL instruments, that will be interesting to hear.

plus I forgot to mention:
The "con sordino"-switch sounded to me like a certain eq setting applied, not like actual samples recorded. Also it is mentioned, that divisis are recorded in the same session as the full sections. So It seems to be not a real smaller section, like combining chamber strings and orchestral strings (or combining desks in lass), but rather like more alternate microphone positions. It's difficult though to predict anything with the amount of information given ...
Yes, the sordino is done with impulse responses instead of actual recordings. I have to admit I'm skeptical about that and the divisis as well.
