This means that there'll no longer be an active version of NetBSD/VAX that can compile code. Is anyone working on this? What needs to be done?The state in -current is not that bad, it can compile quite a bit of pkgs natively. Perl needs work (floating point format issues, not compiler related), which blocks a lot other pkgs. The hacks that Felix mentioned should be fixed, but currently they do not hurt a lot.
You know that we haven't been able to build native in years? Maybe not in about 10 years... I have tested from time to time, without success. Most others seem to not have tried in eons.
So, while it would be good if you are right, I would not put too much money on "it's mostly good".
