      Mongoid 8.x / 8.1 — January 2027 notice

      End-of-Life Notice
      The Mongoid 8.x series will receive maintenance and security updates through July 31, 2027. After that date, it will no longer be supported or receive maintenance or security updates. If you are using Mongoid 8.x, please plan to upgrade to a supported Mongoid version before then.

      * Discussion: [Slack thread, Oct 7, 2026|https://mongodb.enterprise.slack.com/archives/GH2HEDYBF/p1791400982588299]

      Acceptance criteria

      * The notice is published in the agreed channels (docs/release notes/etc.).
      * The EOL date (July 31, 2027) matches the notice text above.
