With the latest news that certain studios are releasing DVDs that so not work on multi region machines. Does this mean that the region 1 region hack on machines such as the Samsung 709 will become obsolete in the near future?

This "latest news" is not news since Patriot was realesed. Disk checks for `multiregion` players. Players locked to ONE region is ok. If you convert your player to region 1 this disk will play.
As far as I know, Patriot was an experimental disk, there are no plans to produce these protected disks anymore.

..And some multiregion players have no problems with RCE DVDs anyway, such as the Philips models.
