I agree. Zhengyu, please remove the @since 12 tags in this backport. It
doesn't make sense to have them in either 11 or 8.

I don't think this should be documented in JDK head (which would be JDK
16 now). After all, JDK 11 and JDK 8 fixes are *backports* of the
original fix in JDK 12. I'm afraid, this is something for users to know
and adjust accordingly for later JDK migrations.

Thanks,
