They are both "official". The mingw team hasn't updated their build in over
a year. mingw64 is a more up to date and has 64bit builds. It is
recommended and stable. It is not just some "hack"

The "mingw shell"  IS msys.

It is not "intended" for such use. It is intended for regular use. It has
an additional optional bash environment (msys) if you need the additional
GNU tools it provides, which I don't. It used to work, and this change
broke it. Why make a change that is purely semantic but breaks a perfectly
allowed platform?
