Myron, I believe IGNITE-2645 should be fixed in the near future since the issue is critical, and will definitely be included to 1.6.
As for the IGNITE-1018, I will not speculate on the timelines because the issue has some workarounds, even though it is possible that it will be fixed for 1.6 if someone in the community picks it up. You can track the discussion on the dev list regarding the 1.6 release and planned features for it. Needless to say that you are always welcome to contribute a patch for any of the tickets you would like to be released :) -- AG
