The other issue is, that is a quite fast moving project. When you want a stable platform, you probably don't want to update every two to four weeks to a newer minor-version, and probably want to avoid new major versions at all.
So, it ended up in: we compiled LESS code offline and combined that with the package. That is not ideal at all for folks changing the style to give their dashboard another look. I assume, that's a pretty common situation. > Regardless of that, nodejs is a huge dependency of which not that many people > have long experience with.

So, that being said, dropping lesscss in favor of re-integrating node.js is a big step backwards. If there's something missing in lesscpy, we should fix that.
