What I belive you're seeing is that there have been new flags added or
removed from ebuilds and therefor there is need to rebuild a lot of
packages to make everything fall in line. For myself recently I saw a
lot of perl packages rebuilt because the 'minimal' USE flag was set as
'-' by default instead of not at all (or something like that).
