What is the current behavior?
There was a major dependency update to ajv in #6430 and it was released as a patch release. This is resulting in a ripple effect on all other dependencies that rely on ajv. For example, eslint's latest version is currently pegged to ajv: ^5.3.0.

As most libraries peg to minor versions, having this change introduced as a minor version bump instead of a major version bump is making this incompatible with a number of libraries.

Can the upgrade to ajv happen in a major release and a new patch release be put out that downgrades ajv to what it was before?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Create a project with a dependency on eslint and webpack.

What is the expected behavior?
npm install works without error

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version and Operating System.
webpack version 3.11.0
