 > but does it say somewhere in the codex that you need to get it in order
 to hack wordpress?

 Good think the codex is a wiki that can easily be edited :-). As soon as
 this drops in trunk, we'll update all the documentation accordingly, and
 write whatever guides need to be written.

 > I assume that even now with the minifying bot it violates the spirit of
 of the GPL as you can't produce exactly the same software from source code
 (php, js and css) if you don't know about the tools.

 well, it's our role to make sure everyone knows about what tools are
 available and how to use them. Re minification,  we still release the
 unminified css/js in the distributions. RTL css files will be included as
 well, if anyone want's to manually modify them for any reason. Anyway. I
 don't see the point here.

 The only thing that's going to change with regard to RTL is that we
 significantly decrease the amount of manual work required to produce a top
 quality RTL experience.
