Hi Paul,

On 20.5.2025 you have removed jdk17u-fix-yes and jdk17u-fix-request 
labels from https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8320687

Why have you done this?  You should not touch jdk17u-fix-yes labels!!!  
These are  reserved to the maintainers.

Now we have a broken situation with two pushes for the same 
change.  The correct way would have been to open a [REDO]  change,
this is what I understood as "resubmit".
Nobody could tell from your 2nd PR that this was a redo of 
a previous change.  Please mention such things to be transparent.

Actually I thought that Skara warns that the change
has already been pushed to the repository.  Hasn't there been 
such a warning?

Best regards,
  Goetz.
