Is WebpackMd5Hash necessary? about webpack-long-term-cache-demo

After testing, I can see that WebpackMd5Hash is required. Otherwise, a different filename is generated on every build. However, based on the docs, WebpackMd5Hash simply tells webpack to use MD5 instead of its standard webpack chunkhash. Apparently its standard chunkhash isn't deterministic, which is why WebpackMd5Hash is useful. Thanks again for the great post and example!

One suggestion: WebpackMd5Hash isn't mentioned in the blog post. I assume that's an accidental omission.

Hi , this post https://medium.com/webpack/predictable-long-term-caching-with-webpack-d3eee1d3fa31 mentions using NamedModulesPlugin and NamedChunksPlugin for reasons mentioned in the blog. Are all these problems fixed if I use WebpackMd5Hash instead. ?
