Has Pacman3 dropped support for the NoUpgrade Lines in pacman.conf?

I just upgraded to Pacman 3.  When I upgraded I quickly saw some output on my sceen saying it was doing a one time "reset" and I believe it said I could delete the NoUpgrade lines in pacman.conf.

I noticed that pacman.conf.pacnew does not have any NoUpgrade lines.

Should I delete all the NoUpgrade lines from my pacman.conf file?

Is the NoUpgrade line no longer supported in pacman3? 
If so, how can I protect some of my config files from being overwritten during upgrades?

They're still supported, there just aren't any by default anymore. They were redundant.

You can/should remove any that are listed in the "backup" list for the packages they come from (pacman -Qii package). Those are all handled as if they were in NoUpgrade anyway.

Thanks.  I am glad NoUpgrade is still available for other packages.
