I would not make this conclusion but I am not an expert. Read Steam forum if you are interested. As far as i understand it actively collects information from VAC-enabled servers. This is how it works with all Steam games making most of players happy. Of cause some players would consider situation to be "dire" but this always happens.
Punkbuster which kicks instantly makes more trouble to honest players who can not join servers because of it. Huge number of complains can be found on BF3 forums for instance. Some unlucky players can not join servers for months since release.
Thus we are in a much better situation.
ps. What I also understood from Steam forum, a 1-7 days delay in banning is present to prevent hackers who can break some accounts trying different cheats one by one to find out which cheats can be caught and which can not. This prevents them from reverse-engineering the VAC system.
