<div dir="ltr">The thing to remember about the WordPress theme repo is that not everybody that will use your theme is a developer. More often than not it is a person with little to no knowledge of web development or programming prowess. What I would do is include both the LESS files and the compiled CSS and leave a note on the readme file or put up some sort of notice.</div>
