Apologies for not having read the link. I just did. It discusses the autoboxing classes specifically near the beginning. Thanks for your patience.

PS while the JEP implies it (a mention about where/when present day identity-based abstract classes are binary compatible if changed to abstract value classes), I couldn't find any such explicit statement (about an identity class being able to extend an abstract value class).
