Not trying to avoid work :) but I hadn't heard that Cygwin's obsolete
package conventions could cause a problem for users. What issue does it
cause for you? Does it make packages hard to uninstall? Does it pull in
other unwanted packages? Any description of the undesirable behavior
would help me understand.
