Comment:

 The Customizer Browser History plugin code has been refactored into a
 patch and improved to work with customize-loader. Patch is available for
 review and testing at https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-develop/pull/181

 The most brittle part of this code I'd say would be the use of
 back/forward navigation when using customize loader. If you are on the
 themes page, click to preview a theme, make some changes, and then switch
 to another theme in the customizer: if you then start going back, it feels
 the browser history can get confused.

 To apply the patch, run `grunt patch:https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/181`

 I'm currently 50/50 on whether to push for this or punt it, letting it
 remain as feature plugin.
