it means that jack1 (>= 0.123.3) has a2jmidid functionality fully 
integrated (via -Xalsa_midi, which supercedes -Xseq).

iow.: when using jack1 (v0.123.3+) and setting midi driver to "seq" (cf. 
qjackctl) you won't need to run `a2jmidid -e` as an 
ALSA-MIDI-to-JACK-MIDI bridge whatsoever anymore.

hth.
