Hi Andrew,

Appreciate you reaching out and finding a documentation issue. 

IMHO in this case I don’t think it worth expending effort updating for a JDK 16u release [*]:

- as you noted that area of this (incubating) API has changed, quite significantly.

- JDK 17 will be released soon (2021/09/14) and we can refocus developers to JDK 17 for feedback (rather than a JDK 16u update).

My recommendation would be to withdraw the PR. I would encourage you to give feedback on JDK 17 (or even directly on the Panama foreign code base) from which, if actionable, can be applied to a future major JDK release.

Paul.

[*] there are of course exceptions e.g. based on severity and unintentional bad interactions with non-incubating areas.
