Probably not.  AFAIRC, that was back when cygwin was distributed as a
monolithic "full.exe" which contained not only cygwin itself, but all of
the other packages and utilities.  Just too big of a mess for any entity
other than cygnus to try and make a release.  Now, with the new package
structure -- sure, rolling releases (and even "non-sanctioned" binary
builds of cygwin itself) are possible. Viva la GPL.
