Assuming 1.7 does not break the ABI. The problem here is that modules built for 1.6 won't run on 1.7, even if the ABI hasn't changed, because these modules won't find the DLL anymore. In this case your update to a newer package would break self-built modules for no good reason. That's why the libs for OpenSSL 1.0.2 are still called cygssl-1.0.0 and cygcrypto-1.0.0, and that's why many packages maintain runtime packages which only consist of the DLLs of a package, e.g. libreadline7, libncurses10, etc. That allows to keep older DLL around for a while.
