It's not wrong, look at 2f9132e2e0b1e01398a01a32972e87f45ec2f7a6, we
were shipping 3.4.24 before the removal, not 3.4.10.

I agree, will do differently in the future, no one mentionned it during
all discussions, but if it was I would've, 3-4 days did not give you
time to comment so I'll wait longer maybe re-re-revert the revert to
restore 3.4.10 instead so we get rid of the non-free code issue. Does
anyone actually use MongoDB on GNU Guix? Some people don't look at
versions or when they were released and just trust GNU Guix.
