Probably better to discuss this on epel-de...@lists.fp.o, but in the past it's not been uncommon to announce an impending upgrade on the lists with some lead time, put the new version in updates-testing with karma disabled and try to get some reasonable testing. Is MongoDB backwards-compatible between minor releases? If so, this should be straightforward. If not, it gets muddier, but ultimately we are all volunteers, so if supporting the EOL version is untenable, then upgrading is the only sane thing to do.
