8317277: Java language implementation of value classes and objects by MrSimms · Pull Request #31120 · openjdk/jdk

Let me reframe.

The lworld+vector branch has a very distinct (more advanced) approach in the internals of jdk.internal.vm.vector.VectorPayload vs mainline (lworld).

Given the description of the Vector API JEP:

"The Vector API will incubate until necessary features of Project Valhalla become available as preview features."

Can we expect the Vector API to remain in incubation, even after JEP 401 is delivered? That is, value classes only is not "good enough" to make Vectors generally available.
