Ticket details:

We currently require Windows >= 7 (0x0601)

https://www.msys2.org/news/ tells that they will drop support for Windows < 8.1, because *their* upstream does that. This is expected to happen late 2022, or early 2023 so definitely affects freeciv-3.1. In fact it might affect even freeciv-3.0 in the sense that it sets the point beyond which we cannot update msys2 in S3_0.
I would be in favor of bumping the default minimum (i.e the value that builder can still override even downwards) in S3_1 & master soon already (before alpha3), so that it won't show as a new requirement in the branch later.
