It's still listed as current and available on official Nikon sites and
resellers.

If (when) gone and not replaced with something similar (ie pro quality 
without 70-200VR cost) then Nikon just did Canon and Sigma a big favour. 
  The excellent 70-300VR (at least up to 200mm) doesn't cut it for fast 
aperture and build quality. Nikon has nothing else of interest in that 
zoom range. While the 80-200 AF-D wasn't true IF, it practically was 
with non extending design, non rotating filter thread (front element 
rotates inside fixed lens housing).
