Hello Anita, I think osgeo4w needs a better structuring of how packages can be added or updated based on different compilers and version.
Currently, due to ABI incompatibility upgrades are stuck. For instance ossim. This was discussed in https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/473#comment:7 IMHO, it should become a package management tool for Windows rather than a package installer.
