IIRC, whereas Yum and other binary-based systems such as APT track literal
libraries (e.g., "libfoo.so.42(ABI_TAG)"), Portage only tracks per-package
dependencies; so when you update one package it still notes that you have
the dependent package installed. (I'm not too familiar with Portage internals
though; so I could very well be completely pulling this out of my butt. ^_^)

Technicalities of word choice - nothing more. :)
