Gentle People:
I normally use CentOS7, but I was disappointed to discover that RH had removed the mingw binaries from their normal CentOS Archive. Claiming that they were out of date and full of bugs and security holes? Hmmmm? RH said to use the Fedora Mingw binaries, but did not say which ones? Should I use the F19 version because CentOS7 is based on F19? Or should I use the F28 Binaries to get the newer version (newer version prefered but not required)? Can I even use the newer version?
Thank You

I'm not sure why you would want to use an EOL version of Fedora just because it would be "similar" to CentOS. Fedora 30 is the oldest supported version but I would recommend Fedora 31 anyway.
