FWIW our concerns were that there seem to be a mismatch between the
stability of Flexbox and Alignment. The Flexbox specification doesn't
depends on Alignment explicitly [1] but from an implementer's
perspective, because they share the same CSS properties, we have to be
careful with unprefixing before Alignment has enough maturity as they
are already exposed to the web.

[1] The Grid specification does though and that's what prompted us to
evaluate unprefixing these common properties.
