Most of the work to prepare for this change was done through the excellent work of @hwillson in meteor/meteor#9173 which, after some re-working to support the 64-bit architecture on Windows platforms, landed in meteor/meteor#9218, making this change as simple as bumping the minor version number (and rebuilding the dev bundle). From this point forward, and due to Mongo's discontinuation of 32-bit support in newer versions of MongoDB, 64-bit platforms will, in development, use newer versions of Mongo while 32-bit architectures will remain at 3.2.x versions. Of course, in production, apps are free to use whichever version of Mongo they would like, provided that version is supported by the Node Mongo driver and Meteor's Mongo data packages. At this time there is no target for when Meteor will stop supporting Mongo 3.2, but developers are encouraged to take steps to upgrade their Mongo deployments (through their database providers) to newer versions since Mongo has set September 2018 as the "End-of-Life" for Mongo 3.2.x. For more information on Mongo support cycles, see their support documents at https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy.
