I’m sync time to time MSYS2 sources with Cygwin to be up-to-date. Also pacman 
itself need to be updated when I create its package.
I think this is totally bad idea for all users to reinstall MSYS2 every time I 
create new base installer. Installer is good for new users to get more fresh 
MSYS2.
I think on first time we need write good instruction about upgrading process. 
We can split upgrade on two or three parts to get smaller as we can errors.
