Security assessment

This change appears to be a complete removal of documentation content rather than a security update. There is no evidence in the diff of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security-related content being added. The removal could be part of documentation reorganization, deprecation of the feature, or migration to a different format, but no security context is provided in the diff.

-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-This example shows how to extract shipping address information from customer orders, which is useful for generating shipping labels or address lists.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.orders.insertMany([
-      {
-        "_id":1, "orderId": "ORD-2024-001", "customerId": "CUST-12345", "orderDate": "2024-01-15", "shippingAddress": { "name": "María García", "street": "123 Main St", "city": "Seattle", "state": "WA", "zipCode": "98101", "country": "USA" },"totalAmount": 149.99 },
-      { "_id":2, "orderId": "ORD-2024-002", "customerId": "CUST-67890", "orderDate": "2024-01-16", "shippingAddress": { "name": "Arnav Desai", "street": "456 Oak Ave", "city": "Portland", "state": "OR", "zipCode": "97201", "country": "USA" }, "totalAmount": 89.50 } ])
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.orders.aggregate([
-      {
-        $replaceRoot: {
-          newRoot: "$shippingAddress"
-        }
-      }
-    ])
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    {
-        name: 'María García',
-        street: '123 Main St',
-        city: 'Seattle',
-        state: 'WA',
-        zipCode: '98101',
