The replacement wouldn’t work, because they couldn’t guarantee full bug-
for-bug compatibility with the current code.
The only way out is the path of least resistance: delegate more and more
functionality to the Linux kernel in WSL2. Let the original Windows kernel
simply wither away. This will happen incrementally, not all at once.
Does this sound like a wise plan to you? Doesn’t matter whether the answer
is “yes” or “no”: it is simply a continuation of the trend of short-
sighted decisions, taken for immediate profit, that have led Windows
development to the point where it is today, and will continue to lead it
forward into the future.
