There is no requirement that all comments be addressed.

As part of the editorial function, I exercise my best judgement as to what 
comments should and should not be reflected in the text.  Purely editorial 
comments (typos, grammatical issues) I typically accept immediately (assuming 
they're correct ;-).  Semantic changes get more consideration.  If significant 
shifts in semantics and/or comments about sensitive sentences are suggested, I 
will typically wait a bit to try to judge the response of the group, both 
public and private.

It would have been more relevant to say that it addressed all of the comments 
from IRSG members.
