// requireCompatConfig only exists so that you can use RequireJS to require a
// Webpack bundle (but try not to do that if you can help it). RequireJS knows
// where to find named bundle output files, but doesn't know about
// prod-optimized bundles. So we make a redundant Webpack target that exists
// only to make a version of all the bundles without the chunkhash in the
// filename. That way, RequireJS can always find them.
//
// To be clear, this is a bad hack that exists to keep RequireJS from breaking
// for the short term. We're actively ripping RequireJS out of edx-platform
// entirely, and requireCompatConfig can completely disappear after RequireJS is
// gone.

// Step 1: Alter the bundle output names to omit the chunkhash.

// Step 2: Remove the plugin entries that generate the webpack-stats.json files
// that Django needs to look up resources. We never want to accidentally
// overwrite those because it means that we'll be serving assets with shorter
// cache times. RequireJS never looks at the webpack-stats.json file.
