[Neos] RFC: Get rid of "lastVisitedUri"

[Aske Ertmann]

Hey Bastian

Last time we discussed this the outcome was, as I remember it, was not to remove it but to move it to file that could be cached and insert it just before the </body> with TypoScript and then it's easy to remove if not desired. The performance should be negligible, we could even make it asynchronous but I doubt it would be any improvement since that would require more code just to insert the script asynchronously.

Being able to add /neos is then something that the editor has to remember and do, which I think most will forget however this is happens automatically. From my point of view I wouldn't disable it for the sites that we create.
