Pippin:

But, um, I thought we got here by supposing the deleted line was a clue
that the Order had been hiding people by faking their deaths. Are you
saying the Order hid Regulus without Dumbledore knowing??

Pippin:
Given that Regulus is RAB, that's simple.
The question was, will we be hearing from Regulus, and
the answer, which could be decoded with the HBP release, was yes, 
but he'll be speaking to us from the past, as he's dead.
