Hi Brian, and thank you very much for the response! We read the announcement and that's why we decided to kindly ask, if the cygwin developers team would consider to make sure, that Windows Server 2012 (NOT R2) will be supported by cygwin until its end of support by microsoft. This is exactly why we ask. Accoring to the announcement, if Cygwin 3.5 is released next week, Windows Server 2012 (NOT R2) will be left without support and updates until October 2023 Am Do., 13.
