I don't think this removal will affect much in the current Quantum plans. rustc itself is not removing the mingw target, so individual pieces will probably still work. We don't really have the resources to keep this alive longer than necessary, and it mostly affects bootstrapping and the final binary.
I suspect if Stylo and WebRender are eventually gated on mingw builds, Firefox will be in fine shape. jack.
