Cygwin Release process


Is there any way to control the versions of programs you get from setup.exe?
The cygwin environment is different on almost every machine at our company.
It all depends on when you ran the setup program.    I have two suggestions:

1. It would be nice, if there was a cygwin-stable that had a list of stable 
packages that you could download.   This would be updated two to three times a
year, with testing.   I belive Debian does something like this.

2. Failing that, it would be nice if the setup program had a button that
set all the values to Keep.   The problem is that if I want a new package X,
I have to click 20 other packages to Keep, or risk an update of everything.
There should be a way to update one single package.   Is there a way?
