Express v4 -> v5 Migration
Problem
Copied from my comment in the Release 5.0 PR: Maybe I missed a v5 planning document somewhere - I'm looking for a few details to help determine how and when to migrate our projects: 1. When is it planned that `express@5.0.0` be published to the npm `latest` tag? 2. Is there a plan to publish an Express v4 -> v5 Migration Guide? (or a visible list of breaking changes with short suggestions about what to do about them) The closest thing that I can see is this small `breaking` note in `History.md`) 3. What's the current plan for the TypeScript types in DefinitelyTyped `@types/express` and `@types/express-serve-static-core`? Does anything need to be changed here? Specifically, things like https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/69660#issuecomment-2179358937 cc DT maintainers @borisyankov @samijaber @NatoBoram @bombillazo @AndrewLeedham @gabritto @sandersn

Yes, this is part of the docs we need to write.
