I recall that, though technically feasible, it wasn't really needed
for a proper installation of cygwin, and in the interests of keeping
setup simple, I opined against it. It already notes that a newer
setup is available; I think that's sufficient. Plus, the range of
reasons why there's a new setup may include reasons for the old setup
to no longer be able to update itself ;-)
