I think, I read a line like this about every other CFV.

What would it take to add a "NOT YET" officially, to
remove the need for this phrase?  just curious :-)

Our official procedure in this matter is described in TIP#0.

Why not just withdraw the CFV on those TIPs, leaving them in Draft status ?

Another thing that could similarly do with a revision is the 
interpretation of "two thirds" in the "Two YESes And No NOs Or Two 
Thirds" rule. According to the interpretation used on at least one vote 
(TIP accepted with 4 YES, 2 NO, and 2 PRESENT if memory serves), those 
two thirds refer to YESes among YESes and NOs, which implies a PRESENT 
is the same as "not present". This could be what the voters expected, 
but I rather suspect it wasn't.
