15 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).
