somehow, you should really upgrade to at least 0.9beta28, though
beta29 will be out in the next day or two. see
http://ardour.org/news.php to see why.

it won't change. the relationship between the regions in the region
list and the regions in actual tracks is rather complex. i will try to
document it in the online manual, but suffice it to say that the
region in the tracks is based upon the one in the region list but it
is not *the* one in the region list. to see why this is true, imagine
that you inserted two copies of the region into two different tracks,
and renamed one of them. what would happen?

its a planned feature for post-2.0. i know protools does this, and it
seems helpful.
