The motivation is simple - we want a solution that works for the whole
app, can handle debug vs. release execution, pluggable modules, and
installations in read-only directories.
Per the other thread on the subject (that Joao suggested continuing
discussion on), Surinder is currently looking into flask-webpack. I
spent some time playing with grunt and some other options last week.
However; this patch is supposed to be about the history tab rewrite.
Whatever solution we use for webpacking/transpiling/linting/minifying
etc, it should be a standalone change as it's decidedly non-trivial.
