The elastic stack is moving pretty fast. As you might have noticed, several |
16 |
security issues were fixed during the development, but still we kept really |
17 |
old versions in portage. I'm fine with keeping older branches if they are |
18 |
maintained, but we kept unmaintained branches (for example we had almost 20 |
19 |
versions of elasticseach). |
