I'm just going off the conversations with Morgan and what they have implied. I certainly don't want to speculate how this could change the approach they take to connecting to the last and welt as I do not build boots. He conveyed exactly what I have alluded to: that this was being put in to action in the next six months to try to speed up the build process and that as of now it had not yet been determined that stitch down would be phased out but would keep me posted on their direction. Those were his words without me mentioning anything about stitch down, I can only assume that this could be effected by the new process because he brought that up to me. I simply asked if the machine welt was the direction the company was moving toward as a whole or if it would be an option and that was his response.
There are some diagrams online that can be accessed if you wish to see how the upper connects on a goodyear welt though and these suggest the same as what Morgan has stated.

@LA:
Incidentally:
First ever Viberg Sample Sale, only on Styleforum, starting soon:
This is basically the first true Viberg sample sale ever and it's exclusive to us.
Prices starting at $300. Sale includes everything from collab pieces, sample leathers/soles, handcut patterns, cordovan, etc.
Sale will run at least a month with several batches of boots getting posted.
First batch is 30 styles.
Flat rate shipping is $25 in N. America and $50 for International. All sales will be final. -
@guyferguson:
Hey everyone,
Just to clear a few things up. The sale will be posted tomorrow afternoon in a dedicated thread. We'll promote it as soon as it's up so you won't have any trouble finding it. 30 styles are shot and ready to go up tomorrow and we've probably got another 30 that will get posted in bunches as the month goes on. This sale will incude a bit of everything. Because Viberg has never really done a sample sale there are pairs from years ago, right up to very recent stuff. You've got overrun boots, collab pieces, cosmetic seconds, sample leathers/soles, hand cut patterns, cordovan, etc all in a variety of sizes. Prices will start at $300 and go up to $500 for things like cordovan. Shipping is flat rate $25 for N. America and $50 for International. Payments will be taken via paypal at info@viberg.com. Essentially, if you are interested in a pair you will email us the details and then we will respond with a paypal invoice. All sales are final.
We've already received a ton of emails and we expect boots to move quickly. If there is a pair in your size that you want i suggest jumping on them. We will certainly do our best with sizing and other questions, but priority will go to those ready to buy. Hope that clears some things up. I suggest everyone save your questions until you've seen the thread as things will be pretty self explanatory once it's up. If there is something i've missed feel free to ask here or contact us at info@viberg.com.
For those of you wondering about my involvement, i've stepped away from my day-to-day role at Four Horsemen and have taken a full time position at Viberg where i am working on some new and very exciting projects (more on those in the coming months). I'll still have an active role in 4H behind the scenes and will continue to help with the buying and special projects.

I have a feeling being in Australia's going to feck me on this. Not that I need or want a pair, but good deals are good deals
GOOD LUCK GENTS!

It seems that this could get a bit chaotic?
-
Would have been wise to give an exact starting hour to avoid disappointment … Hoping they'll have some of these in my size
-
on a different note…. put my alden indy boots on today for the first time since recieving my IHVB-03 and .... well.... they sure feel ....hmmmm.... how do I say this nicely...."different"
I can safely say that despite the pain in the posketbook I will never look back.

that would be the shit
(doesnt matter if Viberg, Rising Sun, Flat Head, MF, IH etc) its an individual choice. to each his/her own
