1.5.5 package issue

I am the maintainer for CMake.   I have held off on the next
release of cmake because I was waiting for cygwin 1.5.x to stabilize.
However, for CMake I am thinking that building it against 1.5.x may
not be in the best interest of its users.   If I build against 1.3.x, then
people can use cmake with either 1.5.x or 1.3.x.  Also, they will not be forced
to go to 1.5.x just to get the next version of cmake.   My question is, 
will 1.3.x application still get uploaded?  I really do not want to have
to maintain both a 1.5.x and a 1.3.x version.  What are other packages doing?
