I ship them hard (although it wasn't until a number of years after I first read the book that I started to) but I don't need an after-the-fact, word-of-God confirmation that Aziraphale/Crowley is canon (when authors start doing things like that, we get to hear about wizard pooping). I mean, it's one stand-alone novel published 30 years ago, not an ongoing TV show. The canon is closed. The fact that the authors haven't minded people shipping it is enough for me, and it's fine that the series isn't doing anything differently.

As for queerbaiting, look, Pratchett and Gaiman wrote these characters who aren't explicitly in a romantic or sexual relationship - maybe it never occurred to them to write those particular characters that way - and when people shipped A/C anyway, the authors didn't object, but also didn't make any pronouncements about the relationship. That's not queerbaiting. That's people having a headcanon, insisting what they imagine about it is the creators' fault, and getting pissy no one will make it canon for them.
