I've summarized the thread where Corinna asked why people used CYGWIN=tty over CYGWIN=notty below.
I don't see any showstoppers here so unless people can provide specific examples of how this change would cause hardwhip, we'll be removing CYGWIN=tty in a snapshot near you soon.

And once again, using mintty is a solution.
Since mintty is the solution to so many of these scenarios, shouldn't we make it the default terminal (IOW add mintty to Base and replace the Cygwin.bat shortcut with mintty's)? The status quo just encourages people to use a deficient terminal without any idea that a better one exists.
