I'm shocked. They were adamant it wasn't going to happen for a long long time.

The main complaint was the market place TOS that gave Microsoft a free-pass on any trademarked assets. The new WSL2 installation way avoids all of this.

Along with the glibc hacks needed by WSL1.

(I was part of the discussion and also very adamant about this not happening)
