I've got experimental: 'all" in my config and I'm still getting w-max-content in my output.

Do you have the Tailwind UI plugin installed?

[brandonpittman]

@adamwathan Yes…

The UI plugin seems to clobber a lot from the base library. The core changelogs need a reminder/disclaimer. I keep forgetting this.

[adamwathan]

Tailwind UI is essentially an alternate base config file yeah. The work we’re doing right now is to make that plugin unnecessary by adding everything directly to Tailwind though, so in a few weeks when 2.0 is released everything will be a lot simpler.

@adamwathan I’m thinking I might just extract the different bits out of the UI plugin tomorrow and stick it in another plugin so I can remove it.
