What do you think this would have changed? I know this was a fix for
the Turkish locale issue where I and i are not the same letter.
NoUpgrade lines should not be required anymore as far as I know and can tell.

HoldPkg = package ...
If a user tries to --remove a package that's listed in HoldPkg,
pacman will ask for confirmation before proceeding.
This is a different concept than IgnorePkg:
IgnorePkg = package ...
Instructs pacman to ignore any upgrades for this package when
performing a --sysupgrade.
