[belochub]

In my opinion we should backport the patches concerning bitHound errors.

[aqrln]

@belochub done. The only bitHound error we'll have for v0.5 now is the stale webpack devDependency, which we, unfortunately, cannot upgrade in this release for compatibility reasons. That's not critical, though.
