In which way do you mean?  My planning was this:

When I release 3.3.0 (next couple of days), I will add a note to the
announcement that this is the last major release supporting Vista and
Server 2008.

When I release 3.4.0 (in some nebular future of 2022), I will add a
note to the announcement that this version does not support Vista and
2008 anymore, and that 3.4.0 is the last version supporting
W7, 8, 2008R2, 2012.

That ok?  Or do you think of somehting else?

Oh, that reminds me... I should have sent the headsup to cygwin-announce,
not to the cygwin ML.  I will fix this omission immediately...


Thanks,
Corinna
