Since not all users may read that section in the class description, that is why this method has the explicit call-out, so I think it may be beneficial to keep this wording. I am fine either way, if you don't think it's worth it, I'll remove.

That's a good point, it should be phrased as a call out the unique behavior. New wording is also more concise. Changed in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/24265/commits/5fc8f37f951555a48b78a133a528e298faabd9b7.
