I have no problem with distros generating CSS files however they like; 
overriding what stylesheet is included is trivial and already quite possible. 
If that's a viable solution for distros who don't currently support node.js I'm 
all for it. Documenting what those distros would need to do would be a 
compromise I'm more than happy with... ;-)

4. LESS for dev, commit compiled files: I veto'd this one in Horizon's 
discussions. I've played this game being a committer for Django when we tried 
to maintain both "development" and "production" versions of the admin's 
javascript files. It was a nightmare trying to do due diligence on 
contributions to make sure they were always in sync, etc. It's also an added 
burden on the developers to understand this process and always adhere to 
updating both files. All in all, not a scenario I support in any way shape or 
form.

Is there another option that has been overlooked? using less.js in development, 
and providing a flag to switch to using a pre-compiled file.

At that point, the .css file can be generated by either the tarball script on 
Jenkins, or by the distro's themselves however they wish.

Thanks,
Kiall
