Sounds to me like we need to consider extending the setup.ini format
(and, by extension, the setup.hint format) to include an optional field:
popup: This package is a significant change from the previous release.
Please check <a href="http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-02/">the
mailing list</a> for the related announcement <b>before</b> continuing.
Or something like that. Note that we cannot provide a direct link to
the actual announcement because that's a catch-22: you need to upload
the new package before you announce, but if the uploaded setup.hint
needs the URL of the announcement then you're out of luck. But a link
to the correct *month*'s archive should be good enough.
