Makes sense. As a data point, it looks like this feature is in all supported releases of Windows. It arrived in 1803, already EOL'd, and IIUC even a Windows Server 2016 "LTSC" system that's been disconnected from the internet and refusing all updates reaches "mainstream EOL" next month. (Not a Windows person myself, but I've been looking at this stuff while contemplating various filesystem-related changes... there it's a little murkier, you need a WSL1-era kernel *and* you need to be running on top of local NTFS, which is harder for us to expect.) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-enterprise-and-education https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/windows-server-release-info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions
