Hello Julian,

> Is this something that would be a candidate for backporting?

This change is relatively straightforward and backporting should be OK. OpenJDK backports however are decided/managed by different team(s) and discussed in https://mail.openjdk.org/mailman/listinfo/jdk-updates-dev mailing list. The OpenJDK guide has more details on the backporting process https://openjdk.org/guide/#backporting
