JEP proposed to target JDK 19: 425: Virtual Threads (Preview)

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 19:

  425: Virtual Threads (Preview)
       https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/425

  Summary: Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual
  threads are lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort
  of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent
  applications. This is a preview API.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Thursday, 5 May, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 19.
