> I am not yet satisfied with the (lack of) discussion about my second suggestion, to stop using webpack for the init module We should look at arguments, and compare pros and cons. So far we only have a suggestion for a change in technology but no measurable success criteria. Once we have them we can look into what is the solution with the least amount of downsides which gets us there. What is a file size for init you deem acceptable? How do you plan to ensure the browser matrix we claim to support stays intact long after this change is long forgotten, and for changes done by the less gifted (counting myself)? > ditch the tool chain, in this small part of the project where I believe it doesn’t carry its weight. The problem I have with this is that the tool chain was chosen to satisfy certain demands (granted, we probably could have done a better job documenting them to be able to refer to them now), but "ditching" the tool chain without regard for features lost thereby at the faintest amount of problem does sound more like avoidance behavior rather than a solution - especially as we are talking about what is arguably the most popular JS build chain there is, not some random 3-star-github-repo. Having written this I regret time is invested into even considering that, rather than looking for a solution - but maybe it at least acts at catalyst for us to collectively set ambitious (yet realistic) dist size goals and continuously keep and eye on them.
