Hi Josh,

Could the packages cygwin-utils and cygwin-utils-extra be merged,
please? MSYS2 already did this, and it's always annoying that there is
a little set of tools in an extra package. I could understand the
separation from a disk space point of view in the 1990, but with
today's 256GB SSD disks in low end laptops, it doesn't make much sense
anymore.
That hadn't occurred to me, nor has anyone else suggested it. It does
make sense though.
I'm in the process of building an update for cygutils-extra, so that
will be done as it has been in the past. But I'll consider combining
the three cygutils packages into one for later releases.
Thanks for the input,
