Mostly for social/organizational reasons, many tests that logically
belong in the JCK
are only to be found in the regression/unit test suite.

Partly it's by intent that JCK tests should not be written by
engineers writing the implementation;
they are too liable to write white-box tests due to excessive intimacy
with the code.

But excessive intimacy is not always a bad thing...
