I'm not sure you're being fair with that last bit. Granted, migrating webpack 1->2 was a nightmare even without the docs issue. But in contrast I moved from 2->3 without even touching my (fairly nontrivial) config and everything worked. Presumably there were breaking changes somewhere, but I got the impression they only really affected plugin authors.
So I'm not sure it's fair to decide the devs don't care about breaking changes. It seems more reasonable to assume that some wrong choices were made early on (including about how to handle docs and major releases), and they've been learning and getting better since. After all, if like most things it started out as someone's weekend hack, with no thought of growing into the powerhouse it is now, some early stumbles are fair enough, right?
