Why would you need a dev dependency when you run your application in production?

This setup works great in out dev mode, but not in our production setup. It can be solved through webDependencies so it's not an issue, just a question 😄

Thanks @mfolkeseth! The only reason was that a project could have a lot of devDependencies, and most of the related to node.js tooling, so most of them wouldn't make sense for the web. I think that still makes sense as a default, especially since the whitelist exists.
