Nor I, also eix is only showing these:
lightning ~ # eix ati-drivers-extra
* media-video/ati-drivers-extra
Available versions: 8.14.13 *8.16.20
Installed: none

I had been assuming 8.16.20 goes with ati-drivers-8.18.8, but maybe not...

No masking here. The only package I've masked is Wine as per your

/etc/portage/package.keywords. Nothing in portage.use.
media-video/ati-drivers ~amd64
media-video/ati-drivers-extra ~amd64
