    Windows Subsystem for Linux (held back Ubuntu updates)

    Hello all,


    Does anyone know if it's safe to force the updates for these held back updates in Windows Subsystem for Linux running Ubuntu, or should I keep them in held back state?:

    The following packages have been kept back:

     netplan.io ubuntu-wsl wslu


    I'm guessing they are held back for good reason but, after months and months of this bugging me, I've finally decided to ask the experts. :)


    Thanks!
