>> Hello Mark, it hasn't always been clear to me when to update the `@bug`. The contribution guide isn't completely clear either. So I usually update the bug id if the test change is substantial (in the way it affects the test). In this case, I've now taken Alan's suggestion to include the  `8284161` (the one which introduced the test for feature testing) along with the current bug id `8294610`. I am willing to drop the `8294610` from the `@bug` if there's some agreement towards it.

I agree with Mark. The `@bug` tag serves to identify the test that needs to be run for a particular source code change. If the changes are all in the test itself, then there's no need for that information. The JBS issue will have a noreg-self keyword indicating that the test itself needs to be run, and that there's no need for any new non-regression test to test the change.
