No, it's not.

24/1.4G, 35/1.4G, 85/1.4G, 28/1.8G, 50/1.8G, 85/1.8G, 18-35/3.5-4.5G, 40/2.8G DX Micro, all fairly new lenses, all in the same general focal length range as the 24-70 and all without VR.

Canon has just updated their 24-70/2.8 and did not include IS (VR).

I have very little doubt that when Nikon renews its 24-70/2.8 that it will not have VR.

Nikon has a great opportunity here when they renew their 24-70.  As Canon just did theirs and did not include IS, many customers have been disappointed.  If Nikon includes VR on their new one, it will be a huge seller, Nikon quality also.
