It might be better if we can just remove the test from Charset.checkName as I think that dates back to an incompatible change going from JDK 1.4 to JDK 5 that should no longer be a concern.
The check of Charset.atBugLevel in checkName should no longer happen for the majority of situations, as that test is now only done if the charset name is "" (see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8174831), since what differs between 1.4 and 1.5 was apparently whether or not the empty string was to be accepted as a valid Charset...
So yes, if we can get rid of the test altogether, we'll be even better off! /Claes
