Have you filed PRs for these issues?  The first issue has a patch available so that could be applied in the
eclipse area after the move.  The second one I don't anything about.  Has it been discussed here before?

I'd like to get eclipse out of the way as it's very very old, and then fix bugs in the new eclipse while porting
the newest eclipse-devel.  I do not want to block the move on bugs that have patches.

Best,
George
