Source: mongodb
Version: 1:3.4.15-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Cannot be properly supported

MongoDB should not be part of (at least) Buster for the following 
reasons:

 - MongoDB 3.4 will be EOL by June 2019[1], which is way too soon for it 
   to be included in Buster.

 - MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 will be supported longer, but upstream's switch 
   to SSPLv1 complicates matters. As discussed in #915537, we will not 
   be distributing any SSPL-licensed software, and keeping the last 
   AGPL-licensed version (3.6.8 or 4.0.3) without the ability to 
   cherry-pick upstream fixes is not a viable option. (I am currently 
   not considering distributing mongodb in non-free.)

I will not request removal immediately, to allow other packages time to 
adjust their dependencies, but eventually auto-removal will kick in.  

That said, MongoDB 3.4 will probably remain in sid for as long as it is 
AGPL-licensed and supported upstream.
