Ok. But maybe this would be an incentive to do this change ahead of the Lilliput main JEP, in JDK23? This PR, as it is proposed now doesn't provide much value in itself, but with the proposed follow-up, it does improve/simplify promotion-failure handling, and restricts usage of the PreservedMarks stuff to the full-GCs only.
