11 Yellow means that a use flag has changed. Sometimes they get added,
12 sometimes they're removed, so these will trigger an update if you use
13 "emerge -N". For example, the radeonhd flag just went away, so mesa came
14 up as "(-radeonhd%)". It was in parenthesis because, in essence, I have
15 no control over it -- it's gone for good -- and it's "-" because it was
16 removed. The "%" just tells you it's a flag change.
