If a package is removed from setup.ini then setup should leave previously installed versions alone. If a package needs to be removed due to serious conflicts with Cygwin then a null package can be created to remove the conflicting files. Then at a later date the null package can be deleted. Note: A null package is one with just an obligatory /usr/doc/cygwin/<package>-README that explains the removal decision.
