No, I mean that the concept of assigning a version number to the
entire release as a whole will become meaningless with this new
scheme, because packages will be updated asynchronously.  I don't mind
using "latest" as the directory for the release, but there's no point
pointing it to a cygwin-1.1.0 subdirectory.  It would become a real
directory.
