Not for now. I admit I didn't track the level of support of ports
depending on Erlang, except Elixir and RabbitMQ. Currently, they all
depend on lang/erlang and/or lang/elixir AFAIK, thus with the current
state, they would all switch to the new version at the same time.

Perhaps we should improve the Erlang ports, using flavors, to build
easily Elixir and other applications using whatever Erlang version(s)
the user wants and allow each application to pick the correct version at
runtime if there are multiple installations of Erlang.

If you have any ideas, they are welcome :)
