Upstream support for the 1.6 branch ended some time ago and many of
the Asterisk security fixes in the past were rather intrusive to
backport.
Asterisk is also one of the few packages which has caused regressions
in security updates since the backports are rather complicated.
Still, if you commit to keeping it up to date, we can certainly keep it.
