Yes, you are right - starting with JDK 11 most of the time it's just about applying changes from trunk, so this file does not play a significant role. However, JDK 8 uses a different format, which requires manual handling and as part of that process we also regenerate the test data(just in case), which has helped uncover some missed changes recently.(this bug was fixed in our src looong time ago).
