It's a mixed bag of tests for the Panama Vector API, RMI and JFR. Adding jdk_svc to this list just adds to the mix. The only synergy is that the RMI tests will be in the same tier as the JMX tests that use the RMI connectors. No objection to the change, I think it is just a re-balancing of tiers for CI systems. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6619
