      When reading a database created by MongoDB 4.4, it can contain timestamps embedded in the data format. We have assertions and verification in the code checking assumptions about how those timestamps work. We should remove that verification/validation from 4.2 - as 4.2 doesn't use timestamps in the same way as 4.4, so keeping the assertions consistent between the two versions leads to upgrade/downgrade pain for users with little incremental safety benefit.
