I found it myself by chance. As luck would have it, I now forget where it is, 
but I *think* it's in the portage(5) man page. I tend to read all portage's 
man pages about once a month or so just to keep current and see what might 
have changed.

$PORTDIR/profiles/package.mask is an amazing source of info too. Changes to 
mask values are documented there. Unfortunately this nugget of info about the 
change to portage isn't in that file, Zac put it in 
$PORTDIR/profiles/ChangeLog and references bug #336692
