remove middleware-logger by default in next major

To not include it you also need to concretely specify the other features, which isn't always desirable

Start by locating how middleware-logger is included by default and how feature selections are defined in the repository. Confirm what the next major version should include without it, while preserving an explicit way to enable the other features; done means the default configuration no longer includes middleware-logger and the relevant tests or checks pass.
