Hi, there's intend to retire the mongodb package from EPEL7 [1]. As for the MongoDB license change[2], we are not able to backport patches, which leaves us shipping basically unmaintained release. Since that is generally not a good idea, we are deciding on retiring the package.

Sometimes it is quick, sometimes it takes a day or two to get through.
