Yes, as I  mentioned when approving the 8u request, this seems to have
slipped through because it was marked as fixed in 8u202, but in a BPR
which didn't make OpenJDK. That suggests a flaw in the filter we used. I
don't know if it's worth rectifying now, as it only applies to the
crossover phase. Maybe something to bear in mind if we end up
maintaining OpenJDK 14 or something.

This is marked as "Won't Fix"  for 11 & 8. Is it really in Oracle 8u?

The bug immediately screams "TCK breakage" to me if it's adding a public
constant in an API class.

8u doesn't have any certificates, so a pre-requisite would be
backporting the work that added them.
