I'm keen on backporting JDK-8372661 and all its sub-tasks (mind that their merge order matters!), preferably ASAP. It is a matter of time we will need to backport a change set touching tests that use `SimpleSSLContext`, and the author will need to deal with the merge conflict. Put another way, I am not able to see a reason to postpone this operation. That said, porting process can be complicated, and @dfuch has extensive experience on the subject. I will defer the _"When shall we backport?"_ question to him.
