      replica_set_multiversion will randomly choose between "latest" and "last-stable" when starting up a mongod instance. The passthrough logic is smart enough to downgrade the FCV and clean shutdown, but that's not sufficient for ensuring "last-stable" is always able to start up in more complicated restart sequences. Consider the following (using 4.4/4.2 as an example):

      1. Start MongoDB 4.4 + ReplSet
      2. SetFCV 4.2
      3. Shutdown (MongoDB 4.2 can restart on these data files)
      4. Start MongoDB 4.4 + Standalone
      5. Shutdown (MongoDB 4.2 can not restart on these data files)
