The full set of operators is implemented in Gecko and I don't see any
barriers to enabling them in release builds. We don't have compositor
support, which means some use-cases would be slow, but I think most
use-cases won't be affected by that and everything should work.

I can't answer that because I'm not familiar enough with the uses of
mix-blend-mode on the design side, so I'll defer that question to Rik. I
agree that any modes that don't have use-cases should be removed from the
spec (and not added in any future level).
