+[`response.finished`][] indicates whether [`response.end()`][] has been
+called, not whether `'finish'` has been emitted and the underlying data
+is flushed.
+
+Use [`response.writableFinished`][] or [`response.writableEnded`][]
+accordingly instead to avoid the ambigiuty.
+
+To maintain existing behaviour `response.finished` should be replaced with
+`response.writableEnded`.
