Answered on IRC, but basically sounds like both cases can be handled as
regular SRUs.  Find an SRU admin to work with and they can give guidance
on specifics that they'll need.

Offhand, both sound like viable changes to SRU, so hopefully it'll go
smoothly.  If you run into problems or if it drags on to > 1 week, let
me know.
