Description
I'm not interested in maintaining compatibility as previously mentioned and needed for cmd.exe and PowerShell. I want to be able to turn off the login clear screen for when using WSL bash as the default shell (eg, these instructions) on ssh'ing into a system. How do I do this?

Research direction
Start by reading the linked issue 1738 and the referenced WSL/bash.exe SSH instructions to understand the existing compatibility requirements. Investigate how login sessions clear the screen when bash.exe is the shell; done would be a documented or implemented way to disable that behavior without breaking the stated shell scenarios.
