Yes, that's why I practically never check them. If there's a security
update, or a nice new feature, I probably won't notice. Or what about
the latest bash security problem? I actually don't know how many
bash.exe I have on my Windows system in need of an update.
Oh, and don't get me started on MsysGit shipping its own MSYS
environment, which is oh-so-slightly incompatible to the one from MSYS
itself, leading to weird errors when you accidentally mix them, which
can easily happen since you usually have both in PATH. I'd love to have
*one* central MSYS which other packages could depend on.
