Because of the widespread use, the tests in <code>tier1</code> are carefully selected and optimized to run fast, and to run in the most stable manner. The test failures in <code>tier1</code> are usually followed up on quickly, either with fixes, or adding relevant tests to problem list. GitHub Actions workflows, if enabled, run <code>tier1</code> tests.</p></li>

These contain, among other things, tests that either run for too long to be at <code>tier1</code>, or may require special configuration, or tests that are less stable, or cover the broader range of less critical JVM and JDK features/components (for example, jaxp).</p></li>

All right, changed. I'll be integrating this version soon.
