Neither are real units, but stratagem upgrades for Boyz. SkarBoyz are also sub-faction locked.
As an old school ork player that lovingly attempted at the start of his hobby career to convert ard boyz... just no, or prepare to get krumped!

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
Both were real units once, and in 9th Skarboyz will likely get the trueborn/bloodbrides/haemoxytes treatment, aka normal boyz that cost +2ppm and in the need of an upgraded warboss to be unlocked.

Hence the Snagga Boys, who are likely repackaged Skarboyz.
Heheh, well that looks to fall into the category of classic GW then. "You wanted old unit X back? How about we give you this brand new different unit Y instead!" Which is kinda totally "Primaris".
GW: We see our customers spending hours and hours of extra time "truescaling" their marine models. Instead of upscaling the current line, we'll introduce a whole new, different type of Marine. Wheeeee!!!
If these wind up being "feral Orks" I'm all for it, mind you. But talk about "design space" seems a little odd when these other units used to exist (and still do apparently, even if they're a CP unlock rather than a unique datasheet.) Hopefully Skarboyz and 'ard Boyz wind up as datasheets in the same way that Veteran Intercessors wound up as datasheets in the 9th ed codex.
Exalted and exactly.
