Hi,
since [1] doesn't change the identifier (it stays gen15a), so the only thing that is changing is the description of e.g. seen here:
$ qemu-system-s390x -cpu ? | grep gen15
s390 gen15a-base IBM 8561 GA1 (static, migration-safe)
s390 gen15a IBM 8561 GA1 (migration-safe)
s390 gen15b-base IBM 8562 GA1 (static, migration-safe)
s390 gen15b IBM 8562 GA1 (migration-safe)

As far as I see it has no functional impact - is that correct?

Under that assumption I'm considering this for Eoan as prio-medium (as it is still open), and for SRUs as whishlist.
It might be added there "along" some other SRU later, but isn't reasonable on its own triggering downloads for millions of users - if you don't agree please outline why we'd need this any sooner there.

FYI: Please note that changing the actual type "gen15a" to something else is even less of an option at least for SRUs as people could use it already and the update would break them.
