They're both sufficiently unimportant not to make it worth complicating the MTA to optimise them. Exim lets you specify a shell command that is run in order to implement these SMTP commands, so it's up to you whether this involves a queue run (with exim -R) or not. For example, you might route incoming mail to a dial-up host and use the appendfile transport to dump it in a directory with use_bsmtp, and cause ETRN commands to run over that directory. (Although the latter requires extra code.) I'm interested that you think ETRN is important, because to me it seems the wrong solution given POP with the *ENV extension, or decent IMAP.
