Given that MSYS2 itself has switched to IM7, I don't see the point to keep
support for IM6.

My vague impression is that ImageMagick 7 is still too buggy on GNU/Linux to be useful for Emacs there. Is my impression incorrect? Even if I'm wrong, Emacs should continue to support IM6 for a while on non-MS-Windows platforms, to support users who don't have IM7 installed yet.

I agree for those platforms which have a choice. With MSYS2, there is not much choice.
