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