It has not been included as no patch has been submitted by it's authors
to the Squid developers.

Note: Squid-2.5 is feature frozen, so to get included the patch needs to
be for Squid-3 (what will become Squid-3.0).

The delay pools in Squid-3 has been reworked quite a bit, but I am at
this stage not sure if a functionality similar to the dynamic delay
pools is available as I have not been involved in this part of Squid-3.
But you (or others) are very welcome to start playing with Squid-3 in
your labs to try out all the new cool features. Just don't do it on your
production servers as there still is a bit to go for a production
release of Squid-3.0.
