As far as i know, loom is in the middle of being integrated to 19.
JEPs are usually updated once the integration to the JDK is done.

StructuredTaskScope (ex-StructuredExecutor) is not an executor anymore, it does not contain the virtual threads created inside the scope.

Both StructuredTaskScope and ExtentLocal (ex-ScopeLocal) are in the module jdk.incubator.concurrent, thus may change in the future as any codes in an incubator module.
