Hi Shameek

Then don't make this a customer-breaking change - it doesn't need to be if it's an opt-in setting.

Just a reminder that the 16 MB document size limitation is *the* critical facet of the MongoDB database as per your customers, and it's not even close, compared to the next most voted-on issue.

"I understand this may be frustrating as with certain use cases, having a configurable document size limit may be desirable. However, we have seen most use cases successfully achieve their same goal by working with a number of our workarounds."
The MongoDB team have spent years now Mongo-splaining to their customers how documents greater than 16MB aren't really what we want. There are many things to say about this, but I'll limit my comment to this: Through the passage of time - and the 16MB limit is now 13 years old as of 2024 - as we have moved from managing Gigabytes 13 years ago to managing Terabytes today - this attitude is becoming closer and closer to the proverbial "640KB ought to be enough for anybody".

It's late - but not too late - to listen to and respect your customers by implementing the single most important issue to them.
