This is a feature request as of beta.15, rest of the issue template elided.

Currently ng build --prod yields a set of files like so:

$ ls -l dist
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu    523 Sep 23 11:57 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu   1388 Sep 23 11:57 inline.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 833489 Sep 23 11:57 main.62117700d901524c314e.bundle.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 188979 Sep 23 11:57 main.62117700d901524c314e.bundle.js.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu   3970 Sep 23 11:57 styles.b52d2076048963e7cbfd.bundle.js

Upon inspection of the the index.html and inline.js contents, it appears that the contents of inline.js were probably intended, at some point in the design or implementation process, to be inlined inside index.html, saving one HTTP round-trip in the results. Thus, a feature request to inline the inline.

Related to this, a question: it appears the styles could be included in the main bundle - is there a reason they need to be kept separate (costing another HTTP request) in a prod build? If not, please include in main bundle.
