Both points are senseless in my opinion.  A one stop faster lens is 
nothing but a click on the ISO dial these days and even there the larger 
camera with larger pixels has the advantage.  As to depth of field 
control a 4/3 format lens needs to be 2 stops faster than a full-frame 
to achieve the same shallow DOF.  1 stop doesn't do it.

So there's no reason to have the 4/3 lens and therefore no reason to 
have a sliding or any sort of adapter.
