Comment:

 In r83628 I have updated mongodb to 1.8.3, the latest stable version.

 Mongodb 2 is not released yet; the latest version available is 2.0.0-rc2,
 which is a release candidate, which means it is not a stable version yet.
 So it would not be appropriate to update the mongodb port to that version.

 According to the preliminary
 [http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/2.0+Release+Notes mongodb 2 release
 notes], "Although the major version number has changed, MongoDB 2.0 is a
 standard, incremental production release and works as a drop-in
 replacement for MongoDB 1.8." So once mongodb 2 is released, we should be
 able to update the mongodb port to it and existing software should
 continue to work. It doesn't seem like we need to create a separate
 mongodb2 port.

 If we wanted to offer users the chance to try out mongodb 2 before it's
 released, we could create a new mongodb-devel port for version 2.0.0-rc2.
 If version 2 final will be released soon, it may not be worth the effort.
