Well, it's already "official" in that it's been on all the cygwin mirrors for quite some time. But it's marked as a test version so you don't get it by default. I think the initial reason was that it contained patches that had not been fully tested yet and with a package like bash you don't want to release untested code until you're sure it's stable. However, that was in November, so it's been a good 5 months or so in that state. Another issue here is that the current bash maintainer is very busy and has limited access to a Windows machine. There has been talk of another person volunteering to step in and get version 3 packaged and released, but so far nothing has come of it.
