 > Well, then why can't I find the minification tool neither in google nor
 in trac? It is kind of pointless to have a source code if I don't have the
 compiler used to create the executable.

 Right now it uses the YUI Compressor. I imagine it's not in the develop
 repo yet because that repo is just a couple days old and tools and such
 are still under development. This isn't some magical "here it's already
 done" process. Tools are developed just as core is developed.

 > Practically, people still need to test how their CSS changes will work
 in rtl, especially if they are trying to fix an rtl bug, therefor they
 need to be able to do a a complete build, therefor all the tools required
 should be available in a very accessible way.

 That's exactly what the goal is. This is a very strange thing to be
 arguing about.

 I think it would be much more helpful to see time being spent trying this
 out and gathering data rather than assuming it couldn't possibly work.
 Trying something out is not saying that it will definitely happen.
