http://cygwin.com/setup.html gives a perfectly reasonable explanation:
"Opinion on whether to mark your initial version as a Test version is
currently mixed. If you have doubts about the stability of your initial
offering you may decide to mark it as Test. Then, once the package has
no major bug reports from users, a current package may be introduced."
I knew I would be often unreachable in the days following the test
release. Now I can better support support whatever comes up.
