My interpretation for Junio's comments were the same as your's. No hard
feelings here.

But, at the same time, Junio also said this:

"FWIW, if you're only duplicating the To/Cc list of the previous
round, then I do not need it, and I do not want to see anybody,
including you, to be using it.  To come up with a list of To/Cc
addresses to use in v2, you should start from those who commented on
v1, in addition to To/Cc used in v1, and then whittle it down."

Which is exactly what I was doing here :). And now that I think about
it, it does make sense.
