Comment (by dd32):

 I think we can ignore filesystem-based restrictions for the purpose of
 this really. There are 2 reasons for this:
  * Releases of WordPress would be using a compiled & minified CSS
 stylesheet, the same as at present (Remember, in addition to minification,
 we also combine all stylesheets together into one and serve it gzip'd on
 the fly)
  * Developers who are altering CSS stylesheets would have to use the pre-
 processor anyway, so in those environments where the
 minified/compressed/concatinated scripts are not in use, I'd expect the
 pre-processor to be in use.

 It also seems obvious that we'd want to implement a pre-processor which is
 written in PHP for maximum flexibility and server-side regeneration during
 development.

 This is also another one of these tickets that would be far better off
 discussed on a P2 among the design group, and a summary brought back to
 the table on Trac, P2 generally leads to a easier discussion flow for all
 involved.
