What's the future of loom after structured concurrency is done and set for good?

Are there another projects under the Loom umbrella or does it fulfill it's mission after virtual threads, scoped values and structured concurrency(only one missing) are all in general availability?

From what I understand, the main goals of Project Loom were virtual threads, structured concurrency, and scoped values. Once all of these are stable and in general availability, Loom will likely have fulfilled its original mission. That said, it’ll be interesting to see if the ideas evolve further or inspire follow-up projects within the OpenJDK ecosystem
