Even ignoring leaks/datamining Larian has explicitly stated all the classes and races from them player's handbook ('stock' basically) are going to be in BG3, albiet not necessarily all in the early access; they also said they wanted to have the testers look forward to some stuff in the launch! Bard will be in the game.
Yeah, but no one was wondering if the bard will be in the game in general. The doubt was about the class being the subject of the next update.
Why do we assume there will be a new class? They might as well leave the rest for the premiere.
