Why is also Misc category installed for a fresh Cygwin install ?

When testing my patch for the Setup source download incomplete problem
I noticed that a fresh install pulls in all packages in Base and Misc.
Before there were no packages in Misc in setup.ini, but now there is:
ccache. (That's how I noticed it, ccache showing up in the chooser
list for a fresh install)

I know Misc is used when installing from local directory.

So, should we not use Misc in setup.ini ?

As far as ccache itself is concerned, I believe it should be in Devel
and its setup.hint probably needs a "requires: gcc" line as well.
