Hi John (Turney),

After I had downloaded and exercised setup version 2.882, I noticed
that setup.ini has multiple (2?) "prev" entries per package ...

Why? Did I miss one of your announcements mentioning this change?

Jon,

    https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2017-10/msg00047.html

Because of the way setup works, the last [test] section is the version which is selected when 'test' is selected, so a specific ordering of the sections
 would be required. ...

Jon,

Currently, I am only interested in the _specification_ that you have
in mind for setup.ini ...

Regards,

Henri

Another (edited) snippet from setup.ini: (where the latest test entry is
