Eh it sounds snarky but not a bad idea because the downtime seems inevitable when using MongoDB.

I'm not informed enough to know if it'll affect the share price for a bank but if a tech company did onboard mongo that'd be a major red flag for me.

Why expected down time for dB that has built in replication?

I would expect downtime from RDBMSS and most banks have scheduled downtime nearly every weekend they say when I log in.

Yep, also we always remember the markets can stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent or something to that effect.
