Right, and SkyTeam is headquartered in Amsterdam, yet still end of June 10th (in AMS) and still no update to skyteam.com site header (no VN logo there still), still no VN in ST schedules. Just this PR hidden away in news, that's all:
http://www.skyteam.com/news/headlines/20100610.html

It seems that while VN is ready and has joined SkyTeam, the rest of ST (including DL) has not done their homework and has not implemented the promised codeshares (as per the ST PR), etc. (Perhaps DL should outsource their stone-age, underpowered and extremely buggy IT to VN? I'm sure that would bring some significant service and reliability, consistency improvements. ) )

As others have said, the most likley outcome is that ST will drag down VN's service standards over the long run.
