      The fact that DBDirectClient is allowed to change the storage engine snapshot is the cause of many hard-to-reproduce bugs and many problems. DBDirectClient can early-returned in waitForReadConcern, which is already done for snapshot readConcern. Additionally, the logic in AutoGetCollectionForRead allows DBDirectClient to potentially change the storage engine snapshot while another AutoGetCollectionForRead has read from a different snapshot (see SERVER-41361).

      We should investigate whether this behavior is actually necessary, and disallow it if possible.
