It would be good to avoid over-indexing on individual person's
preferences. While it seems to be quite common in the Git project, it is
obvious how this harms the Git project more than e.g. focusing on users'
needs would.
A more productive line of thought would therefore be:
MSys has long fallen behind MSYS2 in features like Unicode or
x86_64 support or even security bug fixes, and is therefore no
longer used by anyone in the Git developer community. The Git for
Windows project itself started switching from MSys to MSYS2 early
in 2015, i.e. about eight years ago. Let's drop supporting MSys as
a development platform.
Nicely written.
Will expect a reroll with Acked-by: added with updated description,
hopefully by the end of the week when I'll come back online?
Thanks.
