Just as a counterpoint to Rozhuk's take, that all sounds sensible
enough to me - FreeBSD would probably gain more from this than MS.

So the WSL2 TODO would be something like this:
* Ballooning driver. Seems like a proof of concept would be doable
enough - could you model it as an unkillable task (userland or kernel)
that wants to allocate a lot of memory, and anything it gets it hands
back to the host?
* Some sort of boot support. Maybe as a shim that chainloads an
unmodified kernel? Probably finicky, but also self-contained.
* File systems. Is / also 9p-over-HyperV-channels? If so that's kind
of crucial and perhaps the hardest part.

Oh, and how does the terminal work? You support multiple ttys, so I
guess it's not straight emulated serial?
