Look at package.json for each version of webpack. Webpack 4.30 is the first version that updated acorn dependency to 6.

Why do you want to break a large number of packages when you know webpack 4.30 is already fixed? That is not how transitions work. We wait for key packages to work with new versions. A lot of packages build depends on webpack. Breaking it will cause a lot of ftbfs and that is not OK.
