On Vendor Prefixes

I'm excited about Mozilla's consideration of implementing webkit prefixes and starting a conversation around this. I believe that switching prefixes should only happen if the vendor is willing to drop their existing prefix in favor of another for the sake of standardization. Developers often target specific prefixes based on the dominant browser for their target audience (like WebKit for mobile). While I appreciate Remy Sharp's take, I disagree with his proposed solutions. I think prefixes should be dropped only when committing to another, and that the "production ready browser" idea is unrealistic. We should focus on educating developers on tools for handling prefixes.
