At present we, Oracle, run the jdk_svc tests as part of hotspot testing, but this change will suddenly cause jdk testing to include them. That is probably not an issue for testing within the CI framework but developers running jdk_tier3 locally, often, may have an unpleasant surprise at running over a thousand additional tests that probably have zero relevance to what they are trying to test.

Thanks, no problem, this is not urgent. 

I think tiered testing is by definition tests things broadly, beyond the scope of feature-centric test groups. I think not breaking JDK management APIs and JFR (that I believe includes JDK events too) would is the useful check for a high jdk:tier3.
