   There are some use cases with WSL where people might build with Windows   
   tools to test and deploy on Linux (notably .NET) but I don't think WSL   
   was ever primarily about covering for the absence of modern development   
   tools on Linux. And in any case why build a WSL1 equivalent when you   
   already have a WSL2 equivalent?
