Nowadays we drop them earlier (the next release, for example). If we never shipped the prefixed version in a final release we drop immediately upon implementing the unprefixed one. Sounds like trouble. It seems to assume that every time I include '-moz-something' I will also include 'something'' in anticipation of it's standardization, and that the syntax hasn't changed for the non-prefixed version since the time I wrote it. It doesn't allow time for me to go back and fix things if the syntax or meaning of values changed shortly before removing the prefix.
