From `man emerge`:
    - prefix     = not enabled (either disabled or removed)
    * suffix     = transition to or from the enabled state
    % suffix     = newly added or removed
    () circumfix = forced, masked, or removed

So it means that the aiglx use flag used to be enabled but has now been removed.

Uh, right. Found that table only now.

  +xorg-server-1.2.0.ebuild:
  Bump. Upstream incorporated some version of all of our patches, so no more
  need for the aiglx USE flag.

Which means that aiglx in no longer optional but instead always enabled.


Ok, that's what I needed to know.
However, on a sidenote, I must say I find the current emerge syntax quite confusing. Using the % for both newly added and removed and () for either forced, masked and removed is not the best of ideas, imho.

If % means "newly", there should at least be two circumfix symbols for added and removed, respectively.
Something like:

(%flag) : newly added
[%flag] : newly removed
(flag) : forced
[flag] : removed
{flag} : masked

But I'm still confused: why should you see an added or removed warning *if it's not new*?
