The Less stylesheet preprocessor is now an optional peer dependency of the newly introduced @angular/build build system package. Less stylesheet usage is currently estimated at less than 10% of projects with analytics enabled. Less stylesheets are still fully supported but usage will now require installing the less package within the Angular workspace. An error with instructions to install the package will be generated during a build if the package is not present. This change only affects direct usage of the new @angular/build package. The @angular-devkit/build-angular package which is currently used for all existing projects will continue to contain and directly depend on the less package.

No changes are required for existing applications.

the `less` package within the Angular workspace. An error with instructions to
install the package will be generated during a build if the package is not present.
