Don't take me wrong, I understand the need for the new Platform TCK release. It's just about that the Platform itself advertised that nothing should be changed at the components/included specs level.

I'm a little confused.  There will be new tests and other changes for the 9.1 TCK, so the TCKs won't be the same and someone would not be able to use the 9.0 TCK to claim compatibility with 9.1.

We do need to prove that the 9.1 TCK can be passed on JDK 8 and there's no way to cut that corner.  That said, we still probably can use GlassFish 6 to pass the 9.1 TCK on JDK 8 so there shouldn't be extra work.

Scott Marlow, are we running the 9.1 TCK on JDK 8 in addition to 11 and are we factoring passing both into our timelines?

For any standalone TCKs that have new signature files, we'd at least need a service release of each.
