Why? Isn't HoldPkg already equivalent to RemoveIgnorePkg? This sounds like unnecessary complication to me. However, the scope of HoldPkg might be extended for covering Rc and Rs too, as you suggested.
Ehh, indeed;-) I totally misinterpreted HoldPkg, but now I've read our manual;-) If HoldPkg == RemoveIgnorePkg, then why we need user confirmation for removing them if he listed the package in the "command line" (package was added by remove_addtarget)? This is not done with IgnorePkg neither. So they are not "symmetric" in this way. RemoveIgnorePkg (and so Holdpkg) has real meaning in case of -Rc and -Rs only (imho), when pacman does some auto-magic stuffs; not when I do pacman -R holdpkg, because then I really want to remove holdpkg.
