vue-loader tells me I want vue-template-compiler, vue-template-compiler tells me I do not

Steps to reproduce

This is essentially a doc bug --

As a new user, reading the docs from vue-loader tells me to install vue-template-compiler:

https://vue-loader.vuejs.org/guide/#manual-setup

vue-template-compiler on the other hand, tells me not to install it:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-template-compiler

"You will only need it if you are writing build tools with very specific needs. In most cases you should be using vue-loader or vueify instead, both of which use this package internally."

So which is it (obviously I can see that likely vue-loader's docs are the correct ones, and that it doesn't declare the transitive dep for the reasons I see documented, but then vue-template-compiler shouldn't warn me not to install it)

What is expected?

Likely removing the warning from vue-template-compiler's page.

What is actually happening?

Not that.

[META] -- clearly the "Please do not just fill in a random link." is inappropriate for this sort of bug, so I've ignored it and done exactly that, but if you're going to create a custom way to file issues it might be nice to support these as well.

I just create a pull request to update the doc: vuejs/vue#9508

@ulivz that was quick! Thanks! Will keep an eye on it.
