Oh? I sure hope not.

I cannot fully judge this issue, since I am not a user of Cygwin, but keep
in mind that Cygwin is essentially part of the operating system, and
telling users that want to upgrade from 7.0 to upgrade their operating
system first is not a good plan. Heck, we keep support for such antiques
as SysV and Ultrix, so I think that we might want to keep support for the
current-minus-one Cygwin for at least another release.

OTOH, B20 is technically a beta release, and if dropping it would provide
for significant simplifications, then the Cygwin user community could make
that call.
