<shrug>  It may be enough that the problem and the solution is now 
documented on the list.

Maybe in addition, if/when setup-1.7.exe is linked from the Cygwin home 
page in beta form, you warn there of this: if you install 1.7 fresh on a 
system, subsequently installing 1.5 on it will be somewhat difficult.  I 
can't imagine there *not* being a transition period, where this sort of 
thing will happen at least a few times.
