The latest revision of WGS84 that took place in 2004 was based on the
gravitational model EGM96.  I'm not sure at what confidence level "valid"
equates to.  There will likely be a new WGS84 revision soon based on EGM2008
or other global gravitational model.  I don't think WGS84 is becoming
obsolete.
