#67148: Database cleared with upgrade from v5 to v6

I was surprised to see that MacPorts was automatically offering to upgrade
from MongoDB v5 to v6 without any warnings. After the upgrade was
completed, all databases were wiped. I can't find them anywhere. Is this a
known issue?
Normally, MongoDB requires a specific "compatibility" update to existing
databases when upgrading to new minor or major versions. This is the first
time (in 8 years) that I've seen MacPorts do the upgrade without any
warning. I have seen databases disappear in the past, but it seemed to be
anamoly, as they magically reappeared after a reboot. This time, no such
luck.
Did I miss a notice during the upgrade?
