Hi Julian, 

could you give this PR/JBS please a speaking name, e.g. "HotSpot Style Guide should permit alignas
 (second attempt)". Nobody remembers all JBS issue numbers :)

Also, @rose00 voiced concerns in the original PR (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/11315#issuecomment-1332982465) which should be addressed first. I cautiously share his concerns for the moment.

Cheers, Thomas
