Hi,
There is a test
<repo>/test/jdk/java/util/concurrent/Executors/AutoShutdown.java
It only tests it for Executors of newSingleThreadExecutor, not for the
others
so I wondered if there was some open issue.

I wonder though whether TPE.finalize() is ever actually hit in
practice: TPE is (by definition) a thread pool, and every live thread
in that pool has (by way of TPE.Worker) a strong reference to the TPE
itself via an outer class reference which is passed around in enough
places to make me think that it would never actually be collectable in
a real-world situation, unless all core threads were allowed to time
out.
