I have found one suspicious change. For the current release there are a few modifications were reverted after the 'make rearguard_tarballs' except for the line above. However, I believe the following change should not be reverted:
>  -- Link Asia/Urumqi Antarctica/Vostok

It was part of 2023d, see change in the [tzdata/backward
](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u/commit/15e2c0b58c74e723d7686abc6ec244351508aaf6#diff-b903e3514a1322a34f2e2bac40a50dd97bedb9fa7e38ba2d91ff79ae245aefcbL231)

For example aliases.txt in [jdk21u-dev](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk21u-dev/commit/d5b8c283ba6d58eb4c3af9709c7c3ad60dc11366#diff-489ad8ece4848331545099e194ea7c84998bdad0888877ba5b55a926cebdfa23L151) was updated properly.
