It must be so. It is not so well documented, too. The only info I could find is the following in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html "The final feature of the setup.exe chooser is for Previous and Experimental packages. By default the chooser shows only the current version of each package, though mirrors have at least one previous version and occasionally there is a testing or beta version of a package available. To see these package, click on the Prev or Exp radio button. Be warned, however, that the next time you run setup.exe it will try to replace old or experimental versions with the current stable version." -- Enrico
