I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I created the question in discussions https://github.com/expressjs/express/discussions/5961

Not sure if this is a bug, but seems at least worth mentioning in the migration docs: https://github.com/expressjs/express/issues/6191

I created a GH Project to track this, it is private for now, but we I think project members can start adding relevant issues across the expressjs org to the project. We can probably at least most some of this into that and then maybe close this?
