There were discussions in #563 about including asynchronous routes in v7 but the discussion on async routes kind of died off in #653. Also, it could very well be added in a minor later on and is easy enough to implement in user land.

I take the reactions as approval of the changes. I figure I'll let this sit here for a day or so before going ahead with merging everything so that people who have better things to do during the weekend get a chance to review it.

I think skipping async until someone really wants to champion that feature is fine. These changes look needed. As we spoke via IRC earlier, we should do a beta release before we do a production release on 7.0.0 and make sure everything is working together for a bit before we fully release.

I second the words of @bcomnes.

Ohh, I forgot to post here, for those not on IRC.
There's a beta out (v7.0.0-0) and here's the change log: https://github.com/choojs/choo/releases/tag/v7.0.0-0

I've been using it for the past week (not in production yet) but it has held up nicely, no issues so far.
