I think that would just cause more confusion. I think the correct solution is either for setup to complain loudly if it finds NetworkSimplicity on the system, or for NetworkSimplicity to use a custom build of Cygwin, changed to coexist with the official releases. Or best of all, can the package - I'm unsure why setting up sshd causes so many problems for some people. Certainly its never misbehaved for me. Ultimately, I think newbies would be better off knowing that they are using part of Cygwin from the start, not having that fact hidden from them.
