Sure enough only 5% of the list subscribers read the latest
announcements carefully or bothered to visit the cygwin HP. But I'm
wondering if we really need to ask the main list, given that we will
stop support for 9x anyway.
And, if we do as suggested, we can split out a distro for 9x based on
1.5.24, so the 9x users aren't entirely left alone.
