Hi, thanks for jumping on this, but it can't be done in quite this way (e.g. tests!).
As you probably saw from the JBS entry, I logged this yesterday and assigned it to myself, and created the CSR also.
It also shouldn't be done in 17u.  The deprecation happened in jdk 21 ((JDK-8298966).
I think this PR should be withdrawn, would that be OK?  17u and 17u riscv are not where this needs to happen. 8-)
