I'm working on a little web application using Express.js, Backbone.js, Bootstrap and some others. I've decided to give Bower a try to manage the front end components for this one, but after installing the packages, I noticed that all of them installed tons of stuff that I don't need at all, like LESS files (Bootstrap) or QUnit tests for the framework (Backbone), README.md files, documentation source code, and so on:
As you can see, it's absolute madness in here.
I've searched the package index a bit and I've found a leaner version of Bootstrap called bootstrap.css, but after installing I noticed it is still version 2.3.2, so pretty much outdated.
Isn't there a way to install up to date dist versions of all those libraries?
The idea of having a package manager is nice but it seems a bit off putting to have my application source bloated with all this stuff. I most definitely do not need the Backbone documentation installed on my web server.
