Why not add AlmaLinux 9 and 8 into microsoft official WSL distribution Info json?

Here: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/distributions/DistributionInfo.json

By Microsoft said: If the distro partner wants to be included on our storage server, they should reach out and provide an appx.

I am using Windows WSL2, and i want to install AlmaLinux 9 with wsl ,

The current problem:

> wsl --install -d AlmaLinux9
Invalid distribution name: 'AlmaLinux9'.
To get a list of valid distributions, use 'wsl.exe --list --online'.
Error code: Wsl/InstallDistro/WSL_E_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

Should be closed. AlmaLinux is present there.
