Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update

This may or may not be news to all of you, but it was for me. I just phoned Theta to clarify a point regarding an option on a DS Pro Gen Va. After doing so I solicited comments about the possibility of a Gen VI. The response I received was, "Gen VIII." I said, "what?" Response, "I'm looking at a Gen VIII right here. It's in pieces." Q: "Is there an upgrade path from the Va?" A: "I don't think so, this looks completely different."

I inferred that there is not going to be Gen VI. It seems clear that the speaker didn't believe an upgrade path existed, which would imply that the "VIII" won't have the "DS Pro" nomenclature because this would be inconsistent with Theta's upgrade policy. It's important to note the use of the words "think" and "looks" in the last sentence of the previous paragraph.
