A CSR is needed if there will be a spec or doc change, and I don't see we need it anywhere. It is also needed if there is a non-trivial compatibility issue. While there is some behavior change here I don't think it's a compatibility issue. Those worked still work and those didn't work now somehow work. To inform the user this behavior change it looks like a release note is enough. See https://openjdk.org/guide/#release-notes.
