Thank you for your comment. Please let me ask one more question. As you mentioned, in general, modifications should be as same as possible to the original. My concern here is the mismatch between the copyright year and the recent  modification year. 
I mean, if copyright year remains intact in this PR, one might think that patches introduced in the latest jdk after 2022 were not backported. However, this is not correct because the original patch was applied in 2023.

I haven' found a case where only the  backported patch changes the copyright year, so it seems appropriate not to change the copyright year in this case. However, given the above concerns, I'm not sure why this is desirable.
It would be helpful if you could tell me the meaning of the copyright year for the  backported patches  in detail if you know about it.
