What happens when security vulnerabilities are patched in a supported version of MongoDB? Will Solaris users simply never get those patches? The blog doesn't say that I could see.

> Existing release artifacts for Solaris will continue to be made available, but no new releases will be issued, barring a critical issue raised under an existing support contract covering MongoDB versions 3.0 through 3.4 running on Solaris.

Sounds like those with a support contract can get a patch/update. I suppose everyone else is SOL.

I read that as that they'll only work on issues raised under support contract, but would release the fixes to everyone.
