You just missed it :-) Recently, I did an "emerge -auDN world", and there was a USE flag change. Namely "mysql" was removed from the default enabled flags of qt-sql, marked as "-mysql" in a yellow color. Yeah, it's easy to miss. But using Gentoo for quite a while now, I've learned to pay attention to the smallest detail in the output of emerge before entering "y" ;-)
