Hi. These are different. NUM_REF_FRAMES is the size of the "DPB" while
TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME is the maximum number of references a frame can
use. It just so happens that in AV1 these two are close in absolute
value (i.e. 7 vs 8).

Using VP9 as a comparison, the DPB size is still 8, but REFS_PER_FRAME
is 3 (meaning a frame can specificy LAST, GOLDEN and ALTREF values).

As this is per spec and a mere convenience, I vote for keeping it.
