Or to make this more clear: As one of the few UAs that actually drops prefixed versions, we have tried dropping them after a deprecation period and we have tried dropping them immediately. So we have some actual experience with this sort of thing. And in our experience, if the prefixed property wasn't available for very long, dropping it immediately leads to fewer problems than does dropping it after a deprecation period. Of course if the property was available for a while and is widely used (-moz-opacity comes to mind), a deprecation period does help ameliorate things somewhat. -Boris
