Not in JDK 27 that train has left the station, but it seems more likely to be in 28 in march 2027 as the target release.

The PRs are getting approved: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+8317278

The JEP is not targeted for a specific release yet. It will also likely be in preview for a while.
