Webpack 2 is so awesome that I'm really confused why haven't they released it as a non-beta yet. It's way past MVP and has more than enough quality for a non-beta. It looks like the maintainers want it to get perfect and release it "when it's done", and that is so wrong.

I can understand your concerns but we made a promise early on that we wouldnt release v2 from beta until our MVP docs milestone is complete. We are just around 90% completion (http://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/milestone/1 http://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/milestone/1) After that we will release v2. Help always wanted! <3

  Can you please add some documentation for sourcemap and debugging to the doc? WP 1's sourcemap doc is confusing as hell and WP 2's doc just copied that over. I imagine debugging un-transpiled code with sourcemap is one of the most common use-cases. And I'm not alone if you look at the disqus of WP's doc[0] and a blog by @bebraw[1], one of the guys running webpack.js.org. I even opened an issue[2], I hope it can make into your MVP.

    By all means we take PR's as well. Our MVP list is pretty set in stone and we don't want to extend our timeline. However simply by adding the issue to the new docs repo, I'll make sure the information will get prioritized for adding.

Well, I think it's commendable and shows how much they care about their work. Caution and deliberation seem to be lost virtues in most of the JS universe. Take as much time as you need, Webpack team!

Releasing in beta is not wrong, there are many really needed by default plugins and loaders that are supposed to work well with v2, so some time is needed for the transition period.
