Corinna +1'ed my suggestion that it was time to remove cygwin 1.5
support so I'm wondering if anyone has any objections to removing
1.5 from cygwin.com.
I was going to suggest this a few months ago and mention that the Cygwin
Time Machine was an alternative but it looks like that service is no
longer available.
So, as an alternative, we could advertise that the directory is going
away on the main web page for a month before nuking it.

I had thought that support had stopped anyway, just keeping the files
available.
I used to run an old laptop with Windows ME until recently and maybe
there's an ME or Windows 2000 surviving in some virtual machine...
For owners of old hardware, there is also some Linux installations still
available that fit into something like 20MB, so why not keep cygwin for
download?
