> Embedding the version number in the top header looks sloppy.

Are you a number designer?  lol this one made me laugh. I personally think it's a great thing to have there, it immediately informs the visitor of the latest version without requiring them to search for it. Besides, I think I've seen it used elsewhere before, oh wait, I remember https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap.  Should I let Mark know that you think his design choices are bad too? Or are you okay with us leaving the number there?

> embedding the LICENSE and CHANGELOG.md are not "features", imo)

Okay 1) who said they were features? 2) No one makes pull requests to improve our readme today, so I think we're good. 3) "Separating the editing of README.md from README.md breaks the ability for people to make easy pull requests" wha? Why can't people make pull requests on a different file in the same project? This is how every grunt-contrib repo is managed, and it's what I'm doing on maybe 30 of my own projects and it works great. 4) I'm working on the new Less.js website, I'd like to be able to pull in the changelog and generate a nice formatted changelog from the same one that is in the root of this project. I would offer to let you personally update the changelog on website for us every time Luke updates this changelog, but I don't think it's practical. Do you?

This is open source, we're a community, we all have opinions, and I love contributing to the Less.js community. Unless you're getting paid to be dick, let's try to keep this fun. And if you want to get down to brass tacks, I've published between 200 and 250 projects on GitHub in the past year -- most of them on public accounts, and I actively maintain like 75 of them. We're just talking about readme's here, but I'm feeling pretty good about my experience with managing them at this point. And since you're making such strong comments about how I'm doing things, I thought "hey, maybe this guy has something to teach me about readme's". Do you have another profile, or private account with tons of projects somewhere, where you're the one managing the readme's or documentation? The one that links from @evocateur is all other people's work.
