I've gotten the release to upgrade to 18.04 on WSL, the issue I'm running into however is that systemd will not reinstall. TBH WSL does not require systemd to operate, but it defiantly makes the system angry if it can't setup a way to manage startup. Just for anyone reading this via google, if you want to push your WSL build to 18.04, DON'T. For those of you who are ignoring my warning, you can push it to 18.04 BUT YOU MUST HOLD SYSTEMD. If you try to run an upgrade and allow systemd to be upgraded the upgrade will fail and you will be left with a completely borked system. My thoughts at the moment is to try and grab a 16.04 systemd package and use that until we get a stable 18.04 one.
