Missing packages on Conda Forge vs defaults on Windows

[jaimergp]

Conda forge does not rely on defaults on Unix, but there are some ties on Windows. On this notebook I try to quantify those differences. After the msys2 rebuild these are way less! I can rerun this as needed or maybe it's better if the notebook is part of some official repo here. Please let me know which repo that'd be if you're interested:

Defaults-MSYS contains 7 packages not in Conda Forge

- [ ] m2w64-diffutils - [ ] m2w64-dsdp - [ ] m2w64-glpk - [ ] m2w64-metis - [ ] m2w64-openblas - [ ] m2w64-suitesparse - [ ] m2w64-udunits2

The notebook also contains info about the R packages, but those are way too many now:

Defaults-R contains 5261 packages not in Conda Forge

At a first glance I would say that the missing R packages are probably the only ones that could be problematic. There are some Anaconda specific packages, or rarely used ones, in defaults and msys2 list. @isuruf probably will have a keen eye to identify which ones I missed and we should work on adding.

Is there anything still needed here?
