Well, as IO540 said, what they're proposing to remove is the requirement for an ADF in en-route navigation. That's a good step in the right direction, but rather academic at this point.

You still need an ADF if you want to fly a procedure that's (partly) based on an NDB. And there are still a lot VOR/DME and ILS approaches that use an NDB somewhere in the procedure, for instance as an approach/holding fix, or as part of the missed approach.

So it's still a bit early to put yours on eBay.
