Thanks for the clarification. I was just in touch with curl upstream to drop their Downloads web page Cygwin x86 32 bit section, and clarify update availability, and was unsure whether that EoL affected anything. I will edit https://github.com/curl/curl-www/issues/216 to clarify that for future searchers. -- Take care.
