Thanks for your comments. I presume you mean to make this change through the entire FAQ, right? Starting with 1.2 Which versions of Windows are supported? and not only in 11 Other useful ports ? > We should mention this aspect, and also say what "older versions" are > not supported by MSYS2, so that people won't be unpleasantly surprised > after spending their afternoon downloading stuff.

I don't have any MinGW64/MSYS2 shares ;-) I just wanted to cover the aspect that many precompiled binaries of programs are available from this project. Maybe I put that note somewhere else. Thanks.
