They have been testing shields in various development versions for loads of versions now, so until we see a beta with Shields actually added, there is no point in adding them to a specific Update.

Put another way, we know that Mojang is working at Shields in parallel with other developments. So it'll be added at some point, but we still don't know in which update it'll be added.
