      The removal of non-specified JVM checks on classes with Record attributes JDK-8255342, has resulted in more types of loadable classes that may contain a Record attribute. Now that these checks are not performed by the JVM anymore, Class::isRecord (and by extension Class::getRecordAttributes) may return values for classes that are not wellformed record classes (as per the JLS), .e.g. for non-final classes or for abstract classes.

      Core Reflection, Class::isRecord, already asserts checks that the JVM does not, e.g. that the direct superclass is java.lang.Record.
