That language only obliquely mentions the issue. It is nowhere near clear and direct enough for someone who is just, for example, using a third-party library that is affected. And then it's stuck inside detailed documentation that anyone who wasn't personally planning on adopting virtual threads is unlikely to read.

This seems like it's at least vaguely headed in the direction of that famous scene from early in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”




Maybe you should stick to reading Adams and not programming?
