The question was about removing old patches that aren't used (the
versions cannot be selected) anymore.

Regarding updating versions - We do that all the time (and have to do
so as bugs are found in old versions or they simply no longer
available upstream). If you want to keep a stable environment, you
should simply not update your buildroot snapshot.
