experiments.outputModule is gone in 5.111.0 - output.module carries ESM output on its own now, per #8360. It appears nowhere in webpack's lib/ or schemas/ any more, and the 'only allowed when experiments.outputModule is enabled' check is gone with it. 5.111.0 is unreleased, so this is read from source rather than run; the installed 5.110.3 still enforces the old rule.

Summary
Documents webpack/webpack#22011, which removes
experiments.outputModulein 5.111.0. The experiment is marked removed on the experiments page in the same style already used forlayersandtopLevelAwait, its own section is dropped, and everyoutput/externals/target/performance/ guide reference now points atoutput.module, which no longer needs an experiment behind it.What kind of change does this PR introduce?
docs
Did you add tests for your changes?
n/a — content only. The 5.108 blog post's
#experimentsoutputmoduleanchor was repointed so it does not become a dead internal link; the 2020 release post's historical mention is left as written.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
Nothing further — this PR is the documentation for webpack/webpack#22011. It should land together with it, since it states the removal as shipped in 5.111.0.
