I disagree. If I see "Blah-compatible" I know it's not blah.

Yeah, this is pretty clear. I do assume it will act the same as MongoDB 3.6, since that's what they claim, but it's extremely clear it's _not_ MongoDB.

Really? Because AWS Aurora is "MySQL compatible" but I assume they did not build it from the ground up. It's surely a MySQL fork.

But even if it's a fork, then I know it's not the same thing. It could be very similar, but I expect some differences.

Do you also assume that every single Web framework in the world are forked from single code base because they are all HTTP-compatible, too?
