I suggested the current wording here: 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/21067#discussion_r1767316787

I think 'no caller on the stack' is too vague. AFAICT, the mechanism by which a 
CS method determines its caller is not documented (if it is, we should link to 
that here). Also, I think a user might reasonably ask: "In which cases would 
there not be a caller class on the stack?". So, I suggested the blanket 
statement instead, rather than leaning on poorly defined concepts.
