NOTE: We do NOT intend to implement this, since SCons is being replaced w/ Bazel. For now, we're keeping the issue open to prevent TODO-based bugs from being created.

SCons 4.0 has been released, and includes some interesting new features and flags. One very exciting thing is that SCons now includes built-in support for generating a compilation database after they merged our implementation into the core SCons repository. Other notable changes are listed here: https://scons.org/scons-400-is-available.html

SCons 4.2 has also now been released, and includes other interesting features. We really want a SCons upgrade though that will offer VS 2022 support, and that isn't in 4.2.

Note: This ticket is mentioned as an "upgrade_suppression" here (https://github.com/10gen/mongo/blob/b40ef5fd658ce4f8ccfedc8943cb934b1703d709/etc/third_party_components.yml#L345 ); once the last scons-enabled Mongo version is deprecate (hopefully v8.0), we can close this ticket.
