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. Local machines may take considerably longer than the 8+ minutes that you listed.

I don't expect there are many people that run jdk_tier3 locally. 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.
