Updated Description
Magento 2 is using _extends.less to add theme specific mixins which is being called by
@import (reference) 'sources/_extends.less'
However for some reason .abs- prefixed classes went through the compilation mode which end up in the CSS file, bloating the size between 100kb up to 200kb which is particularly alot for just a CSS file. After long investigation this happens because some of the .abs- prefixed mixin is being called within a .media query method which enforces the parsing of a mixin although they are not being used.
