I know you were joking but in fact it should be systemd-free, as I
understand it. If WSL2 is only a kernel and a small bootstrapper then
whether or not systemd gets installed will depend on the userland that
people choose to put on top of it. Devuan is a possibility!

Er.... I think that's how it is, anyway.

All that is until systemd gets built into the kernel by Red Hat and
everyone else follows suit. ;-)
