I guess we could. I don't have an opinion on that. Those that do the<br>
work get to decide. And I do see the value of sticking to the most<br>
commonly used tool chain.<br>
<br>
Less is one thing - then comes javascript and minifier ... and the need<br>
to be able to use custom variables when building Bootstrap.<br>

I don't think less is the problem. It comes "for free" with the solution<br>
to some of the bigger problems:<br></blockquote><div>I agree. i don't think less is a problem.</div><div>Since less is the compiler I don't think we need to provide the sources for less at all.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

* We need the right build tools for these packages ... and they also<br>
come from npm by default (and nothing else is supported).<br>
