The wording for change 1 looks fine to me. For change 2, the mention of the internal representation is misleading, since the internal representation of (long) integers in current CPython is effectively sign-magnitude, and so there are some shenanigans to make the operations behave *as though* the internal representation were some form of two's complement [1]. The previously proposed wording (in msg321679) (with the "infinite sign bits" extracted into the main text as Tim suggests) looks fine to me.
