I think you missed the point that Jon was trying to make: we currently have many library packages at various versions (those with the actual libraries) that other packages depended on at some point in time. If there already is a newer version of such a package and there are still dpendencies that point to an older version, that means those packages should eventually get rebuilt to use that newer version (if not ABI compatible) or just use the newest version without any prodding (if ABI compatible), which in turn means that the old versions can get removed along with the corresponding source and debuginfo packages that were solely kept alive by these dependencies. In the case of libiconv2 the current version for Cygwin is 1.17-1 and the library should be ABI compatible with all previous versions, so these old versions up to and including 1.16-2 are deprecated since setup will never install them unless forced manually.
