Yes.  I will rename the function in the next version of the patch to
make it clear this is correct.

Since we rebuild the entire regions list on every update transaction, we
care about the "nop" (unchanged) regions too.  They need to be added to
the new list we're building.

The deleted regions are ignored because we're building a new regions
list from scratch anyway.
