Yes, right. There is rubygem-mongo and rubygem-mongoid and they will
become FTBFS without MongoDB. The test suite could be disabled, but this
will be unfortunate, because historically it helped to uncover issues on
some of our arches.
While I see the value of tests, I personally don't consider just the
testing purposes to be a good enough reason to keep unmaintained
mongodb-server in Fedora, and don't see any other option here.
Do you see any viable solution here, Vit?
