I hope that it isn't an April Fools Day joke, but last April 1 (my post is quite outdated, sorry), SERoundtable announced that Google Caffeine is now live, renamed as "Kaffein". Here are the details:
April 1, 2010
Breaking: Google Caffeine Now Live, Renamed 'Kaffein'
We have been tracking the Google Caffeine index for a really long time. We recently reported it was almost live but today is that day - Caffeine is live!
What took so long? Well, we knew it would launch soon but due to mormons being upset with the code-name "Caffeine," due to their dietary restrictions, Google had to change the name.
Changing names is a very political and long-process at Google. Google, being Google, decided to go with the German spelling, "kaffein." A German chemist, Friedrich Ferdinand Runge, came up with this in 1819. So due to the issues with naming it "Caffeine," Google decided to put the breaks on that and use a less known word for it, kaffein.
Now that Google Kaffein has been renamed, Google has now taken it live.
Webmasters at WebmasterWorld seem to confirm the launch of kaffein. We have dozens of reports that it is now live, the reports starting coming in last night.
This does not appear to be an April Fools joke!

Matt Cutts already said that its not yet live... I can't seem to remember where I read that article or discussion but I'm very sure of that.

I think Google's just delay the launching of Caffeine, maybe when there's a very competitive SE that will rise just like the impact made by Bing's release and Google immediately formulate their next generation algorithm.. But at the moment, it is on test and keeps improving with more feature..

Perhaps the drop on my site's ranking is not because of this caffeine things.

Well at the least, the name change to Kaffein is not an April Fools
The temporary caffeine URL
http://www.google.com/errors/caffeine/unavailable.html was offline before the year shifts from 2009 to 2010 and way before SERoundTable made this announcement. Anyway, here is the link to the SERoundTable announcement just for reference:
