Even more interesting...
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse and x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
have xorg-server as a dependency, and so cannot be a circular dependency.

I'm guessing that the mouse and keyboard drivers got deleted as dependents
of
xorg-server during the upgrade, but there are no dependencies in my desktop
build
process that require that they be put back, even through a complete system
recompile.

I'm thinking 'x11-drivers/xorg-drivers' and 'x11/xorg-minimal' should be
bumped
when xorg-server is upgraded.

(When my current recompile is done, I will check that my xorg-drivers didn't
get removed as well.)
