From the migrating guide: "This change was made to allow for these [connect] middleware to receive fixes, updates, and releases without impacting express release cycles and vice versa."

Couldn't they still achieve that by depending on connect, but not depending on those specific connect middlewares?

connect is basically just a `.use()` kernel, and express' router was just mounted on this kernal. now, express' kernel combines connect's `.use()` kernel as well as the router, simplifying the entire middleware system internally and removing the need to do `app.use(app.router)`.

i.e. you're no longer mounting the router on top of another kernel.

TJ's one of the original creators of Connect, so it's unlikely to simply be NIH.
