It's a worry for people who choose software that they need to work in the future full stop. As someone else pointed out elsewhere in the thread, this is being removed partly because the previous open source version of MongoDB no longer builds from source, apparently due to some change to the toolchain or libraries. Normally you'd upgrade or backport upstream's fix, but that's no longer possible in a situation like this.
