Since this is something that changes over time, I don't think you should drop 
the date completely, though I see no reason to retain "January 2016".  What 
would you think of revising your patch so that the text says something like this:

"Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern, released versions of Windows.  As 
of September 2020 this includes Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, Windows Server 
2008, and all later versions of Windows Server."
