We already have the `getParams` method everywhere and we are actually reusing that name and make all these methods a mesh (not a mess). If we create another method, there will be 2 ways to do the same thing and users will be confused. And we cannot simply deprecate the old one since that will be even more disruptive. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16222#issuecomment-1769095093
