Currently there seems to be no way for MongoDB to tell us the flavour of the server, ie: "is this server MongoDB Enterprise/Community or PSMDB?".
I need the ability to determine the server flavour/type for several tooling projects for MongoDB.
'buildInfo' is the MongoDB server command that displays info about the build, so I expected to find something in this output that would indicate we are talking to a PSMDB MongoDB server or not, but there seems to be nothing.
> db.adminCommand({buildInfo:1})

Please add some reliable way for a client driver to determine what type of MongoDB server they're talking to, or at very least a boolean that tells us if the server is a Percona binary or not.
