I've had similar thoughts; that strikes me as a fine RFE for after this fork. I see what the code is doing, but haven't delved into the module system details to understand exactly the rationale for these tests. In any case, filed the RFE JDK-8257856: "Make ClassFileVersionsTest.java robust to JDK version updates."
