The reason for having the standard provides at all, or the reason they are in mingw-filesystem? The reason for having them at all is just for uniformity. You can "BuildRequires: mingw(wsock32.dll)" and not care whether that comes from Windows/Wine or from Fedora. The reason they are in mingw-filesystem and not in mingw-crt is likely just because we put them there without thinking about it too much. (Or "filesystem" is the system environment). Anyway moving them seem sensible, I have no objections.
