You could do 8321480 without this patch - I think we'll have to in 8u as jtreg 7 needs JDK 11 - but I don't want to do that if we are going to bring this change in, as it will make this change unclean and risk missing the post-8310923 changes in 8321480.

Hi @gnu-andrew,
Yes, we backport this because [8321480: ISO 4217 Amendment 176 Update](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17u-dev/commit/223018a3aabc319992d9790fa1d6c88b02fcca9f) depends on it. But it is also easy to resolve 8321480 without this change, which is what Oracle did.
I have been looking at raising the jtreg version. As a first step, I wanted to explore backporting the required test fixes you mention above. Actually, there are some more prerequisites. But I don't think we will achieve this by Feb 27th. So maybe we should proceed with the ISO 4217 Amendment.
