These changes seem to be designed to create an unfair advantage for
their proprietary MongoDB Atlas tool for cloud hosting of MongoDB.
They are essentially trying to force one of a few possible actions out
of Amazon:
1) publish part of its proprietary infrastructure
2) stop providing mongodb
3) pay mongodb for a different license
4) fork it and continue providing an old version
5) purchase MongoDB Inc and use it against MS/Google
