Are NAV frequencies also subject to the 8.33 rule?

Most of the talk about the need for 8.33 radios has centered around allocation of COM frequencies. Is there a similar problem with NAV frequencies? Is the NAV portion of old radios becoming obsolete?

VORs are being decommissioned, they are unlikely to run out of frequencies.

The bandwidth of a VOR is approximately 30 KHz so there is no chance of fitting it into an 8.33 KHz channel.

There has been no talk about increasing the number of VOR channels.
