I agree with Daniel - please let's not get go this way again. We've had this
with the various Free-/Net-/OpenBSD images in the past, and then we were
suddenly stuck with a fixed image where most people were not able to change
it anymore. That was very frustrating.

Apart from that, you also have to respect the GPL if you provide binaries
... so you'd need to gather all the sources for that blob, too, and be ready
to provide those in case somebody asks...

Yonggang, could you please try to use the caching mechanism of Cirrus-CI
instead? See https://cirrus-ci.org/guide/writing-tasks/#cache-instruction
... then we're a little bit more independent from downloading the msys2 for
each CI run.

 Thomas
