I'd put this on hold until there are some conclusions around spring-projects/spring-framework#28552.

With the outcome of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/28552, this PR probably makes sense only for 2.x where it could provide an easier option to align with the behavior (no trailing slash matching) that will become the default in Spring Framework 6.

It would have been nice to provide a migration path for this by flipping the default in Boot 2.x and providing a property to restore the old behaviour for those that really need it. Unfortunately, we've missed our window opportunity as we currently expect 2.7 to be the last minor in the 2.x line. As such, I think it makes sense to close this. Boot 3 users who want to re-enable the deprecated support for trailing slash matching can do so using a configurer bean.

I thought I saw 2.8 references somewhere but if that's not going to happen, then yes, I agree this should be closed.
