Re: Updated versions of erlang-runtime25 and elixir-devel

This all makes sense. Thanks for the explanations. I was tempted to update
lang/elixir, but based on downstream dependencies will stick to
elixir-devel for now.

Once I verify no dependency problems and rebuild otp with 25.2.1 I’ll open
a PR in GitHub and then open a bugzilla ticket. Probably will be an evening
this week.

I don’t currently use RabbitMQ for work or for fun, so don’t have a good
setup for testing updates. I’ve considered getting back into it, so maybe
later in the year could contribute patches or test things out for others.
