I can't speak for the developers, but IMHO, it's an on-going process.
 Nothing is bug free and while there are small problems here or
there, most (if not all) are being taken care of very nicely.  As was
stated in an earlier e-mail, most of the developers are voluntary. 
It's come a long way, and again IMHO, I think it's constantly being
improved.  Try to find another unix environment (for Windows, that
is) that is as stable, or open sourced as Cygwin.  I dare ya.  ;)
