The remainder of these flags in all tests seem to serve preview APIs (such as ScopedValue) or language features (primitive pattern, module imports, etc.), or testing the enable preview flag itself.  Now there is fewer than 100 `@enablePreview` in the `test` directory.

I would give a go to all trivial removals of `@enablePreview` after a brief check the tests pass.
However all the more complex changes potentially affecting various parts of the JDK infrastructure require deeper review and probably involve more reviewers.
My recommendation for easier review would be to split this 360-files patch into a patch with trivial removals of `@enablePreview` and one or more patches focused on particular area.
