Some time has passed, but I've worked on patch to unprefix min-content,
max-content and fit-content (the same that was done by Christian in Blink).
You can find it at:

This is really useful now that we're shipping CSS Grid Layout, as right
now we've everything unprefixed for Grid Layout but min-content and
max-content. So for example you have to write:
  grid-template-columns: -webkit-min-content fit-content(500px)
                         -webkit-max-content;
Instead of:
  grid-template-columns: min-content fit-content(500px) max-content;

That combination of prefixes (min-content and max-content) vs non
prefixes (fit-content()) is really strange.

You can find more details on the bug report.
