Doug, as you mention java.util.concurrent. I think that should be the place
for a concurrency support annotation. I wouldn't necessarily agree that
this is an esotheric annotation. I could argue that writing efficient
multithreaded programs is more common than any UI or even sound related
functionality in the JDK.
@Contended is important for making the JDK a tool for writing fast code. I
was so happy to see it come, and would be sad to see it go.
