[External] : Re: Virtual thread memory leak because TrackingRootContainer keeps threads

[Attila Kelemen]

Maybe Ron will prove me wrong, but I never felt that the design of the JEP
was meant to make VT appear as PT in all aspects. In fact, what the JEP is
usually about is that it equates VT with tasks submitted to an executor.
And in that case, VT being a GC root is a strange thing. Though I think
either case is unlikely to make a difference in practice.
