We're also planning to drop Support for the 32 bit release of Cygwin in

This is all good. I really appreciate all the developer's efforts
with Cygwin. There are thousands of ham radio operators all over the
world who would not be getting data file updates without this
software!
I am not sure that I follow this. Are you saying that amateur radio
users will be fine with the loss of old Windows support? The
appreciation is a general thanks for all that Cygwin developers
do or is it a hint that you hope they don't drop old Windows?
If it is the hope that old Windows isn't dropped, then it makes
me smile a little. Now that I am in amateur radio, I see that
it is an expensive hobby and a new computer is a small cost
compared to the radio equipment
