As noted in the contribution guide 
(https://openjdk.org/guide/#testing-the-jdk), regression tests are expected for 
a majority of changes that are done in the JDK. There are situations where 
regressions tests cannot be added, but this isn't one. I believe a new method 
with a default specified implementation in a public exported interface deserves 
a regression test of its own.
