here interesting case, I think we should solve it on webpack-cli level, here #3522, for webpack-dev-server we support the hot option, but webpack-cli should merge them

It looks like we may need it here, and should update code in webpack-cli to not show --hot multiple times.

Yep, I think we should fix it in webpack-cli

hmm, will fix it 👍🏻

To be honestly I think we remove --hot from webpack-cli, for developers who want to use hot module replacement for non browser env should add plugin manually

I think the same, let's remove from cli

Yep, I think we can start to create the next branch in webpack-cli and start to working, drop webpack v4, drop node v10 and some other stuff, feel free to start and I will add small readmap (there are no a lot of work in webpack-cli for the next major release)

Will do 👍

@snitin315 Let's close here, it will be for webpack-cli@next

Yep we can close.
