A Vermont saw shop posted this on their Facebook page. Anyone know the real story, or is this just more internet BS?

This is what I heard but I may need some clarification. I was picking up some parts at the Stihl Dealer and got talking about saws. He said Stihl is reversing its course on the new saws and it was regarding carburetion. I thought he said that the "strato" saws were being ditched and new better mufflers would keep the emissions down. It also it could be that the M-tronic carbs were being ditched in favor of better mufflers for epa mandates. Anyways, I am confused, and was hoping the strato saws were going in the dust bin of history. Any one know what is really going on with Stihl?

"Better mufflers" in that context would have to be more restrictive ones - so that sounds like going backwards into the future. Stihl has done that before (only on the US market then, on US made models) - and I doubt they want to repeat it.

Another observation is that (at least so far) making most of the models "strato" and/or AT/M-tronic ones allows the brands (Husky and Stihl mainly) to keep some fairly low volume models "traditional", without particularly restrictive mufflers - or at least not more restrictive than they have been the last decade+.
