That's no difference.

The flow of HS changes until the jdk8 release was:

hsx/hotspot-{gc,rt,comp,emb} -> hsx/hotspot-main -> hsx/hsx25 -> jdk8

After the release it probably will be:

hsx/hotspot-main -> jdk8u-dev -> jdk8uXX

The current contents of hsx/hotspot-main/hotspot, hsx/hsx25/hotspot
and jdk8/hotspot are all equal and contain HS 25.0-b70.
