Comment (by kadamwhite):

 @adamsilverstein I ran this by Z Goddard for webpack review, and the only
 comment I got was that ModuleConcatenationPlugin is meant to only be used
 in a production setting -- all of the optimization plugins do a certain
 amount of analysis, so having them run in dev or during a --watch slows
 things down. If we split the config into a dev and prod config, we could
 also consider adding some of the other optimizations built in to Webpack
 down the road.
