I believe given the potential behavioral changes, rushing into release 23 is a risky choice. (the 4 new tests can target 23 in a separate patch, but they require removal of a few redundant assertions in old generic code) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/19281#issuecomment-2143205523
