Comment:

 > I'd suggest it's simpler to simply remove the hardcoded prefetch
 insertion. Less code is better in this case.

 Simply put: A page which contains a DNS prefetch to a domain it does not
 call externally should be **considered a bug**. I too question the value
 of `dns-prefetch` and, in this case, it seems to remove more value than it
 adds and I'd like to see it removed so I do not need to hack core to
 optimize page loads (yes, even dead code, even dead code).
