 > Anyways, things don't add up here, "we" want to avoid stylesheet
 bloating and "switch" over to new syntax and standard-compliant browsers
 by removing only what's IE related, correct?

 I looked into this some more - I thought IE9 was using the -ms- prefix but
 apparently uses the filters instead. It is the current, but won't be as of
 the anticipated release date of 3.5. However, because of their upgrade
 path, I have the same conflicted feeling as azaozz. I'm not always
 correct, hence only the suggested close from me :)

 of Safari, Chrome and Opera as well?

 We discussed why we have to keep the old -webkit- syntax in IRC
 (basically, Kindle Fire, since it's a targeted device):
 https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2012-07-31&sort=asc#m430274 . Do you see something else that
 should be removed after [21459]?

 > Please think about it just for a sec :)

 I think about it plenty, thanks. No need for that kind of commentary. :)
