That doesn't answer the question. Sure we will be able to use them past the cutoff date but do they have plans to remove the subsystem in the future through an update?

My prediction is "probably yes", given the other nonsense they've done.

Though I added it to Win10 via a package from github. Win10 did require to be a certain patch level. I would assume the underlying architecture that's required won't go away (Android is an API on Linux after all, and we have WSL too), so we should still be able to use something like this.
