app-admin/logstash-bin: drop old
Signed-off-by: Andrew Savchenko <birc...@gentoo.org>
I applied the commit made by the proxied maintainer as a part of
his pull request https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/3948
required to fix bug 609132. (By the way you ignored that bug.)
Since the proxied maintainer doesn't have the direct access to the
tree, I facilitated him and I see nothing wrong with this.

Discuss this with your co-maintainers. I see nothing wrong in
removing old packages from the tree if this doesn't break any deps
and don't result in keywords being dropped.

Commit from any listed maintainer either direct or proxied is OK.
