Can someone please elaborate on what's going on here, what the difference is

Don't know if it's relevant or not but recently upstream deprecated the
"KERNEL" USE flag, resulting in many rebuilds for packages.
Thank you, Lee, but that was just a coincidental change. The changed-deps
behaviour has been going on since I've started using it in my update routine
several years ago. It's a little tiresome when emerge wants to recompile
libreoffice and firefox every time I update my system and I'd like to
understand in more detail what these parameters do so I can judge the necessity
of using them to keep my installation in a consistent state.
