Yes chatted with @dholmes-ora about this recently and he suggested separating out so there is a follow-on JBS issue created for that. Aside from JVM_StopThread, I suspect code that deals with pending exceptions before a thread start can go away as the JVM TI StopThread can't cause an async exception on an unstarted thread. I'm hoping Thread.stillborn can go away too.
