@balcanuc Backporting is done in other, separate projects. Whether changes in mainline are backported, and how, is publicly discussed in the respective mailing lists. 

In particular, for JDK 8 Updates you might want to have a look at
[this mailing list](https://mail.openjdk.org/mailman/listinfo/jdk8u-dev) and the [this git repo](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev).

If you feel this change is relevant to JDK 8, you are welcome to discuss a solution that does not rely on `repeat()` on that mailing list, and then [contribute](https://openjdk.org/contribute/) your code to the [JDK 8 Update project](https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk8u/).
