WSL1 Is Dying from Neglect

A bug in WSL1 causing Windows Server 2022 to BSOD remains unfixed 18 months later.

From the WSL 2 Post BUILD FAQ: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl-2-post-build-faq

> Q: What will happen to WSL 1? Will it be abandoned?

> A: We currently have no plans to deprecate WSL 1.

I am finding it hard to square this up with knowing WSL1 has been broken in Windows Server 2022 since RTM. These BSOD's were resolved a year ago for Windows 11 insiders (22H2) but Windows Server 2022 was left twisting in the wind.

It's not like we're asking for feature enhancements - Please let this be just an oversight and not a sign of WSL1 code going from "maintenance mode" to "outright neglect".
