      In WT-12110 I discovered that WiredTiger's compatibility testing is testing against release version 2.9. This value is set in utility/test_util.h in TESTUTIL_ENV_CONFIG_COMPAT.

      MongoDB has moved beyond needing support for that version. MongoDB 4.4 needs a minimum version of 10.0. There is code setting 3.2 and 3.3.

      WiredTiger testing and code has not kept up with EOL and releases moving forward. We should review what versions are necessary for support. Current WiredTiger has a WT_MIN_STARTUP_VERSION. There could be a lot of code cleanup in the logging system to eliminate unsupported versions.
