Mini-css-extract-plugin: Webpack 5 Support Plan?

[septs]

The webpack 5 changelog:

The compat layer for webpack 3 plugins has been removed. It had already been deprecated for webpack 4.

see https://github.com/webpack/changelog-v5/blob/master/README.md#tapable-upgrade

Modules now have to define which source types they support via Module.getSourceTypes(). Depending on that, different plugins call source() with these types. i. e. for source type javascript the JavascriptModulesPlugin embeds the source code into the bundle. Source type webassembly will make the WebAssemblyModulesPlugin emit a wasm file. Custom source types are also supported, i. e. the mini-css-extract-plugin will probably use the source type stylesheet to embed the source code into a css file.
