ALSA team is going to drop the "midi" use flags from alsa-lib starting with 1.0.19-r1 and alsa-lib-1.0.20-r1 ebuilds. There are a few reverse dependencies that check for alsa-lib w/midi use flag support, either through EAPI2 alsa-lib[midi] or --built-with-use. They need to be updated to allow both versions. I'll post deps as I come across them, and CC maintainers and probably fix them myself unless there are any objections.
Revere dependencies: http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/media-libs/alsa-lib Gonna have to dig to see which ones use midi.
Please look at bug #273137 and bug #273129, for things that should get into this (or at least the next) ebuild too. I added two fixes to it. alsa-lib and alsa-tools 1.0.20-r2 installed and running fine here. And revdep-rebuild also does not find any problems. :)
=games-simulation/openttd-0.7.0 depends on alsa-utils[midi].
The following ebuilds do too: games-engines/scummvm-0.12.0 kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.4 app-emulation/wine-1.1.22 kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.3

Well, that wrapped pretty poorly. Sorry about that, but I reckon it''ll do.

It's done and ALSA without [midi] is unmasked.
Maybe could help an 'eselect news' ...some packages (for example kde-libs) installed with the alsa-lib[midi] dep give problems in updating world. The ebuild installed still depends on midi IUSE and the exact new revision of the package could be not unmasked (imho a common way to have a reasonably stable system even with unmasked packages). So the user take some time to figure that the problem could be in the installed packages (and related unmasked version).
Just a question: Does dropping the flag mean, that now midi is always integrated, or that it never is. Because if it never is, how would you then play midi? Especially for example with Rosegarden to timidity or a midi sound card
