I would like inputs on the `test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/6294277/SourceDebugExtension.java` test. That test launches `java` passing it the `-Xdebug` option and was introduced as part of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-6294277. `-Xdebug` has been a no-op for many releases now. Is this test still relevant and if not, should I go ahead and remove it as part of this change?
