Since @ngtools/webpack is bad after 1.8, so since 1.8.1 is not working compile because of removing the decorators.

Versions

Using webpack, not using ng.
Angular Material and Angular CLI (latest) and Angular all the latest (5.1.3).

Repro steps

It is written here to repro: #8525

Observed behavior

It is related to this: #8525

Desired behavior

Should not remove decorators or kindly fix it, so it works with my repro steps.
I couldn't at all create a new project of my own with this remove decorators new function in 1.8.1.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

This file is in @ngtools/webpack 1.9.3 :
File: angular_compiler_plugin.ts

If I comment this code:

// Remove unneeded angular decorators.
//this._transformers.push(removeDecorators(isAppPath, getTypeChecker));

It works.
I think the removeDecorators is not working for sure.

[p3x-robot]

Is there an options to keep the decorators? While is it removing something that is doing this?
