Hi guys,

what do you think about branching the Cygwin master branch into master
and a 3.3 branch?  We could add bug fixes to the 3.3 series and working
on new 3.4 stuff in master at the same time.  For 3.4 I was thinking of
getting rid of some old cruft, as time permits.

Good, bad, ugly?


Thx,
Corinna

Seems like a good idea.  How exactly would it work?  Would bug fixes get applied 
to both branches?  Or would 3.3 just get merged to master from time to time?

Everything goes to master and is then backported into the 3.3 branch

Would you like some help getting rid of old cruft?  I don't know much about the 
different Windows versions, but I could work on removing 32-bit stuff.

Thanks for the offer, I'll get back to it.  I'm not quite confident yet
to rip the stuff out.  I'd like to keep it a while and start in 2022 if
that's ok with you.
