Do we know how much vendor-prefixing we're using (in general and for FxOS, specifically)?
A good amount. Flexbox, transitions, transforms, gradients, etc.
I did a quick and dirty test: include.css is 123K, 26K after gzip Removing *all* the prefixes (we'd want to be smarter and keep some even for Firefox OS, for 1.1, but this is just to give rough numbers): include.css is 115K, 25K after gzip IMHO, if we want to reduce include.css file size, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988674 is a better option to start with, as it'll provide bigger improvements without having to deal with generating multiple versions of our CSS for different browsers, which is generally a pain to maintain / do reliably.
Many folks these days use autoprefixer instead of writing their own mixins for vendor-prefixing properties: https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer It works on minified CSS too.
Was planning on using Stylus's nib, but seeing autoprefixer would work better. It's probably like one line to our build step too.
