The biggest issue has been the lack of usage and feedback on it, including bugs. You have been a huge help in using it and providing feedback.

Thank you @dougwilson for actively maintaining it! I think that you should jump on the deep and just release it, then people will start using express@5 and you will get the most valuable feedback 😃 Looking forward 😃

Currently, I use express@5 to run UncivServer.xyz and have been using it for some months. The site currently gets over 10M requests per month and didn’t see any express related issues by far. The ones I encountered turned out to be either mistakes from my side or design choices rather than bugs.

The only real problem I had while using express@5 is that although many middlewares and methods and such from express@4 also exist in express@5 they are not documented yet for some reason.

So, I think express@5 might just be suitable for a stable release already after documentation about it has been revised (or just copied into express@5 docs).
