You can still do that after creating the custom runtime as you do today when linking using JMODs. The point of this fix is to be able to have a way to still run `jlink` based on the run-time image when you're using cacerts file from an external location (outside the JDKs control) or have updated tzdata (also outside the JDK build). I wouldn't expect for this to be needed in many (most?) cases.
