[Submitted title was "As of JDK 27, Oracle engineers will thus stop maintaining the macOS/x64 port", which is a quote from the article, but was a bit confusing in the title]
I think it’s clear from the “Motivation” section, as it’s actually preceded by another sentence there.
Apple has transitioned its hardware products to the AArch64 processor architecture and is phasing out support for x64. Oracle engineers will thus stop maintaining the macOS/x64 port as of JDK 27.
It’s fine to have it as a normal word, it might even be one! Hehe it is to me at least :)
However, I believe OP is right, it’s un…grammatical? -parasable? in the headline? There’s no…referent?
More plain spoken :) - there’s nothing indicating what lead to the thus. I.e. “it’s raining thus I brought my umbrella”, we’re missing the “It’s raining” part

Ten minutes later, I'm still trying to figure out the role of "thus" in this headline.

The phrases is taken from the email. Apple stopped ... thus Oracle ...
I like it. Bring back thus as a normal word. Also thusly.

Also, having explained by example, finish with "quod erat demonstrandum"
