[SOLVED] What happened to less?
Why is it less is removed from the base install of Arch, and now needs to be installed separately?

No such recent change in base package:

which means 'less' was not part of base package even earlier. (atleast past 2years)

2019, apparently.
The install guide suggests installing man-db, which pulls less in as a dependency.
