So in this case it would be something like:

Yes, as I also mentioned here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u/pull/31#issuecomment-1453806230

The fix either needs to be resolved in the main JDK development tree first, or we need to know why an 8u only fix is needed (e.g. code has changed in later versions and bug is fixed by a change that can't be backported as is)
