If there's something like the ULTIMATE PLUSH HIPPO REPLACING EVRY OTHER PLUSH HIPPO, you should get it. Thanks for everything you did for Cygwin! There's just one problem. What happens to your packages which are not upstream packages but Cygwin-specific? Especially cygport comes to mind. Off the top of my head I don't know which other packages fall into that category. However, for these packages, we should ideally move them from your cygwinports github repo to cygwin.com, right?
