I think I understood what happened. You send those referenced messages to v1 review comments at the same time or after you sent v2, and said "I'll drop this" or "I'll do that" in them, which confused me into thinking "oh, after sending the v2 Dscho realized there were still some things to be addressed and responded to v1 reviews?", hence these references. Sorry about the confusion.

Let's mark it for 'next'. As the "prep" topic will be part of -rc1, I really didn't want just half the topic in the upcoming release while leaving out the other half out of it. Thanks for pinging.
