Question about repository structure

Some time ago a second directory structure appeared in Cygwin mirrors.
They now have 'release' and 'release-2' folders, along with
corresponding 'setup' and 'setup-2' .ini, .bz2, and .sig files.

Both appear to contain the same subfolders. The contents of the
'release' subfolders look like all release versions of GNU utilities,
both current and archival, going back to 2002. Those in 'release-2' look
like only the most current versions.

Are my interpretations correct? If so, which does the 'setup.exe'
installer use? Can one of those two 'release' folders be deleted to
allow the rest to fit on a DVD?
