Search the archives - this question was asked just last week.  The short
answer: cygwin is a volunteer effort, so the more people that volunteer,
the faster we can reach a product that the core developers consider stable
enough to release.  There is no fixed timeline, because this is not a
corporation.  And you are free to use snapshots and give feedback to this
list on how the snapshots are doing.

Again, this is a volunteer project.  The FAQ tends to lag a bit, so
documentation of the most recent known problems tends to be more in the
mailing archives rather than the FAQ, particularly if the problem has
already been fixed in snapshots.
