Description
Previous versions of ThreadPoolExecutor had a finalize method that shut down the thread pool, but in this version the finalize method does nothing.  This should have no visible effect unless a subclass explicitly invokes the finalize method and relies on the executor being shutdown.

There is a mostly automated process for publishing release notes based on suitable marked issues/subtasks like this one. The JDK 9 release notes were produced using the same process. To see the form of the result: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9all-relnotes-3704433.html
