I think we've ended up with historical configuration that dates from early days of this project. It works with hotspot/jtreg/:tier1_loom but not jdk/jtreg/:tier1_loom, it's something we need to fix. So I don't object to adding something short term to define a group for porters to run but it's probably not something we'd bring into the main line.. If you can keep "tier1" out of the name for now then it gives us a chance to the fix our setup.
