Just to say that providing some way to stabilize msys2 would be great.At
LibrePilot, we switched to using msys2 and won't go back. Back to what is hard
to say. Not much I guess...Thanks to msys2, the windows build system for
LibrePilot is closer to what's available on linux and osx.
We use mostly Qt and a few third parties (osg, osgearth, soon gstreamer).
Msys2 is great but the rate of change (and breakage) is a problem.We tend to
stay long times without updating the main branch while trying out updates
regularly until things fall in place.
Again, msys2 is great and makes things so much easier, but the stability issue
is a problem on the long run.Anything that will help in this area is more than
welcome.

Just my two bits. As a user, I would like to have a "tagged release",
similar to how I run ubuntu LTS server for years before upgrading.
I run msys2 behind a firewall, so the security updates seem not
important. If my firewall is penetrated, everything on my computer would
be affected. I'm looking for a "stable, reproducible work environment".
I would probably not use "rolling releases".
Of course, it would depend on the size of the distributions, but for
most people, I believe saving disk space is no longer a big concern.
I have not run into any of the incompatibilities or problems that at
least a few people seem to have reported. Perhaps that is because I have
not updated anything for several years?
