I reverted it, because it should be displayed as outdated version in 
portscout (even if gitlab does not allow a newer version).
If you hide newer version from that view there is a higher risk to 
oversee important update that are fixing security related issues.

I personally see portscout as a list of packages that are outdated and 
not as a todo list which package must be updated.

If it disturbs you, I can take the port as maintainer (it is anyway 
related to gitlab), then it is out of the ruby list (please let me know).


Kind regards,
Matthias
