I see this Jepsen link posted all the time. People: PLEASE don't use outdated software. MongoDB has made mistakes and they are public about their data issues on https://www.mongodb.com/alerts. MongoDB 4.2.6 is old and I believe it's approaching EoL based on https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy/lifecycles

I'm not going to push for you to use MongoDB but am merely trying to provide some context around that Jepsen analysis.

That's why I've added the last part. Mongodb highlights old Jepsen analysis' on their page (https://www.mongodb.com/jepsen), but they never got around to ask them for another analysis to show things are so much better with MongoDB 5 or 6? Yeah. Sure. People are free to believe whatever they want, I'll continue to highlight the best info available.

Based on that lifecycle doc, the 4.2 line is already EOL, and 4.4 will be soon.
