Desired functionality

Compile w/o error when importing from @angular-devkit/build-angular.

Mention any other details that might be useful

Not sure why this is marked as a regression. It never worked as we don't guarantee to publish typings for those. The build-angular package is currently experimental.

The good news is we'll start publishing those most likely around the v8 timeframe as we stabilize the Architect API.

Closing this as working as intended.

I ran into this as well. To fix it so I could build my angular project I had to downgrade @angular/build-angular to 0.11.4 because anything later than that wouldn't build.

Could someone explain why this ticket was closed because "build-angular is experimental" so we don't care if it works or not? Can you do ng serve without it?

My own project which depends on @angular/build-angular just encounters same issue
