WSL 2: where is it, and where is it going?

It's been a while since Microsoft unveiled the re-architecture of its Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) at its Build conference. Since then it's been tested as part of the 20H1 series of Insider previews and will launch as part of Windows 10's next major update, which will be called Windows 2004.

That update is now close to feature complete, with only bug fixes expected between now and its likely April launch date.
