Right, I was asked by JCK folks to either file a CSR to have the change recorded, or revert. Since the behavior change was not intended and was not a key part of [JDK-8325340](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325340) I prefer reverting. If anyone wants to get rid of this and other more or less superfluous `final`s that should be done in a separate, deliberate RFE. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18107#issuecomment-1978780028
