The Atlas docs for connecting with a mongodb+srv URI say to use the SRV type when connecting to MongoDB 3.6 or newer. For example:
https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/driver-connection/#python-driver-example
This is incorrect and really confusing. mongodb+srv requires a specific driver version, not a specific server version. For example, PyMongo 3.6 (coincidentally the version number that supports MongoDB 3.6) supports mongodb+srv. That support will work with any server version.
The problem this causes is that users might think they can use mongodb+srv with any driver version, as long as the server version is 3.6 or newer. Please change the docs to say which driver version is required for mongodb+srv, not server version.
