The changes make express even cleaner than before. The new routing system, allowing handling different verbs with chained functions, is pretty slick.

Also, decoupling default middleware and putting them into their own modules seems like the way to go, and more 'node-y' than packing everything together.

I'll be glad to get rid of the connect warnings too !

Although there's koajs, it's nice to see express is still getting some love
