Intent to unship: @media (-moz-touch-enabled)

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez]

Hi all,

In bug 1588737 I plan to remove access to the -moz-touch-enabled media
feature.

This is a non-standard media-query feature that predates the standard
hover and any-hover media features. It seems that Modernizr (a fairly
popular library to do feature detection) bogusly uses it to assume that
touch events are enabled on a given device, which confuses websites like
the one in the bug.

There's no reason these days to use it, and even our frontend doesn't
even use it anymore, so I'm going to try to disable it for Nightly /
Early beta for now, and assuming there's no compat fallout I'll disable
it everywhere eventually (I'll send a follow-up email to this list when
that happens).

Let me know if there's any concerns with doing this.

Thanks,

-- Emilio
