My standard test:

[D:]grep 00A0 uni\\*.uni

Why?..
[D:]grep 00A0 uni/*.uni

It's actually an *improvement* over MSYS, which required UNI/*.UNI (i.e.
a short name if the short and long names are identical).
I don't know about pacman, but the 20MB maintenancetool.exe does not
look like something that can be used to manage the MSYS2 components. Out
of the box, only "Remove all components" works; the "Default
repositories" are empty and read-only, and I can't even see a list of
the installed MSYS2 components. Not very impressive, compared against
mingw-get, which is < 200KB (.exe + guimain.exe).
Hopefully, this enables us to eventually remove the Waf build system in
the longterm.
I'm using waf under Linux as well, since it keeps the source tree clean,
and allows compiling only selected plugins without a super-long list of
--disable-plugin-s.
Also note that MSYS2 by itself does not include any development stack.
Not even a make, like MSYS.
