That split was indeed made to enable making it available for Base packages, but
that decision was never made I think.
It makes sense to me to add it to Base. Were there any objections when that was
proposed before?
Or is it supposed to be pulled by another Base program ?
Base packages should not pull in non-Base packages, but it appears that info
currently fails that requirement.
A lot of packages fail that requirement. I don't think it should be a
requirement. To me, Base packages are those that we've decided should be in
every Cygwin installation. If that forces other packages to be installed, so be it.
