Certainly right now with the new version.  Presumably this counts
"upgrades"?  I do think people tend to upgrade Sage less often,
because it's such a big package.

No, a full Maxima is included.

I make of it that people should be more motivated to help the Cygwin
port!  It's easy to review at least a couple of the current spkgs,
because we mostly need someone to review that they are proper spkgs
and only change behavior on Cygwin, see e.g. 
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort
for more info...  Or one can help with the more difficult #9167 and
#11551...
