The motive is partly to reduce the large set of changes that have accumulated in the loom repo, and partly to improve robustness and test coverage in the main line. The changes don't include any of the larger changes in the loom repo that are part of future JEPs.

Suggestion:

        Thread vthread = Thread.ofVirtual().unstarted(() -> {
