Yes, on both accounts.

Now that you mention it I see that actually sitting in my TODO queue -
it's pending the work that Marc was doing on the tagging scripts to deal
first with permissions and then with emails. I assume he's now either
done or buried the projects (IIRC the permissions part was buried since
we didn't really want it), but I forgot to bump it on my TODO. It's now
bumped, I'll make sure it happens.
