My concern with changes like this is that it's just adding to the complexity of the definitions of important test groups.  I think we need a new section/heading at the end of the file as the place to put these special test runs (esp. the manual tests).  For jdk_core_no_security then my strong preference is not to hack the existing test group configurations, instead add this to the special runs section at the end:


 jdk_core_no_security = \
    :jdk_core \
    -:jdk_security
