Cannot speak to the "why" question - perhaps Carl will respond "why" it
is still in testing.

That said, 2.4.1 has been in testing quite a while and you can
trivially install it (and the new pigeonhole partner package) from
there. 

It has about a dozen "sign offs", suggesting quite a few are using it.
I have been using it and has been running perfectly fine since it was
pushed to testing.

It does require manual intervention that is a bit non-trivial - but
straightforward enough to do, following the update guide. 

Guide is here: 
https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html

Additionally, there are 1 or 2 quirks still with 2.3.1 (e.g.
environment variables don't work "everywhere" - for example certificate
path must be exaplicit). Minor for sure.

2.4.2 (not yet released) will address all the current known quirks from
what I see.
