Is Express really gonna break into a bunch of smaller modules?

I've been looking around the web to see the popularity of Express vs Hapi in 2017/18 and something I constantly see is that the Express team is looking to split the framework into smaller modules where you install only what you need. And that this is planned for version 5.0.Now, I am an intermediate and definitely do not understand the nuances here. I feel like this move will rapidly increase the popularity of Hapijs and reduce the popularity of Express. As someone who uses Node to build small-medium API's I am very happy with the "npm install express mongoose" routine and would be quite annoyed to see that change. Annoyed enough to seriously consider using Hapijs as the go-to after that happens.Thoughts?
