New candidate JEP: 507: Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Third Preview)

[Glavo]

Hi,

It looks like it has not changed since the original version (JEP 488).
Why does it need a third preview? This makes it not production-ready in JDK
25.
Is there some hidden danger that I'm not aware of that makes people
hesitant about it?
