When in Rome:
$ cd .../oe-core
$ git log --oneline -10000 | grep -i add | wc -l
1376

$ git log --oneline -10000 | grep -i added | wc -l

That statement could be misleading, try:

The quilt "series" option relies on "less -R" but since
that option is not enabled by busybox in oe-core by default
so hard-code the dependency on 'less'.

From 'man less':
   -r or --raw-control-chars
      Causes "raw" control characters to be displayed. ...
   -R or --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS
      Like -r, but only ANSI "color" escape sequences are
      output in "raw" form.  ...

In 2018, BusyBox's less added:
   8528d3d4f less: optional support of -R
but it is not enable by default for oe-core. While we could
enable the option, all known use-cases involve larger, more
developer-oriented recipes such as quilt or man pages.

I maintain that we need to resist adding one more wafer-thin
200 byte config to our default busybox config to avoid bloat
over the years. We wouldn't want the busybox package to burst!
