With the extended Tor autoconfirm requirements, the second doesn't really seem necessary, semi-protection should work. If there are still problems with Tor abuse on semi-protected articles, the Tor autoconfirm restrictions can be raised without having to worry about significant impact to most users. As for the first, would users who meet the extended autoconfirm requirements or have ipblockexempt still be listed?
The idea is to prevent sophisticated sockpuppeting through tor. FT2 spoke of users who keep a clean account and a dirty account (good hand, bad hand), and users who have multiple sockpuppets from tor. The idea is that if an admin suspects sockpuppeting on a debate, they may disable all tor editing for that page.
