JEP proposed to target JDK 21: 444: Virtual Threads

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 21:

  444: Virtual Threads
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/444

  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.

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 Friday, 7 April, 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 21.
