For LESS, it think it is fine to use even server side Javascript. The
CSS should be compiled at RPM/DEB build time, and not at run time for
live deployments, so that is a bit of a non-issue. I'd also be fine
with using the client side LESS implementation, especially if we want to
use the same implementation at development and live deployment time,
but I can understand if there are issues with doing this.
Node.js is a whole different server side technology, and that should
not be implemented at this time.
