Nice. Those .exe files would be closer to 30 MB than 20 MB, right? But
nowadays that kind of sizes are quite common/normal and does not incur
any noticeable delays when launching them.
Building static Qt apps this way for Windows I think will be more
popular. I wish Qt would include a static building wizard, like showing
say the most common static build flavors as check boxes, and perhaps a
detailed view for cherrypicking exactly what modules you want.

I've switched from VS to MinGW, the #1 reason: I can distribute an

This is *verboten* when using VS, you have to send along the
distribution dlls (ucrtbase.dll etc.) and install them.
Agreed. I cross-build completely statically linked Qt quick apps on
Linux using mingw-w64 and share them (.exe only, no DLLs) to
colleagues who only run windows. Very useful! So I would not vote for
requiring MSYS2 or similar if it would mean the end of cross building
Windows apps on Linux (if I've understood what MSYS2 is correctly).
I would not however mind upgrading the compiler/toolchain if my
particular one was too old for some future Qt version.
Cheers,
Ola
