No, it's far from official.

You didn't answer the question. How do you know that this is NOT going to be an official release?

Read the bug reports all around the 'net.

Read the bug reports all around the 'net.

Bug reports are not good indicators of whether or not a release will be official or not. Many, if not all, official releases have bugs.

I did a manual install of GB yesterday afternoon and a full factory reset, etc., this afternoon to clear the perpetual sync icon in the notification screen (which is, BTW, the initial sync between the X's Gmail/Google and the cloud Gmail/Google.

The new app "Book" has seemingly thrown a kink in this update/sync process and maybe future OTA (official) GB updates will take care of this issue (OR someone will figure out how to go around it.)

I have to add that, other than the sync icon stuck in the notification panel, everything installed and operates extremely well. Lots of new goodies...
