Search:

  http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=xorg-x11-xwin

take:

  xorg-x11-xwin/xorg-x11-xwin-7.4-1  Obsolete package

From setup.ini:

  @ xorg-x11-xwin
  sdesc: "Obsolete package"
  ldesc: "Obsolete package"
  category: _obsolete

That mean 'obsolete' for package?

I search for docs in:

  Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide
  Cygwin User's Guide
  http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup-head.ini.html

but does not found any relevant docs for 'obsolete' keyword.

Do this mean that package depricated and I need avoid its uses?

Or it is for a long time does not updated and can have known bugs?

I will be glad if docs updated with appropriate texts.
