Since the testlibrary exists even in the JDK part I would like to add the Serviceability and Corelibs teams to this discussion.

This makes it very difficult (sometimes impossible) to backport updates to the testlibrary. Can I suggest that all updates to the testlibrary classes be done under their own CR (they can still be reviewed alongside the main changes) and committed into a distinct changeset so that they can be readily backported. Thanks, David
