There are no plans to drop 8.1 support any time soon, and all 3.4.x
versions will continue to run on Windows 7 and later, as already
outlined in basically all cygwin package announcements since Cygwin
3.3.0:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2021-October/010268.html
[...]
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-December/010831.html
Only the 3.4.3 release announcement is missing this info accidentally.
