We already have MinGW builds done in ci.centos.org. IIUC, MSYS2 is based on cygwin. At one point someone did some work to make libvirt build on cygwin, but it was never touched again thereafter, so currently I'd put that in the unsupported bucket. Thus I'd ignore MSYS2 too unless someone actually wants to use it, and is also willing to make sure it works on an ongoing basis > > Aside from that, I'd be happy to see addition of more CI environments if > > they cover platforms / combinations we don't already touch.
