We kindly ask to continue the Cygwin support for Windows Server 2012 until
its end of life. This will be on October 10, 2023.

As reiterated late last year in cygwin 3.4.0-1 announcement:

	https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-December/010821.html
https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin-announce/20221204145856.2386232-1-corinna-cygwin@cygwin.com/

https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin/announce.20221204145856.2386232-1-corinna-cygwin@cygwin.com/

64 bit WS2012 will be supported until then by Cygwin 3.4 releases, and after 
then Cygwin 3.5 will be released (currently available for testing) and 64 bit 
WS2012R2 will be supported at least until MS drops support.

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
