Comment:

 I've pushed up [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6717
 PR 6717].

 Known issue:
 - If a plugin redirects on page load, such as to onboarding, the browser's
 `back` button will navigate to the page ''before'' the one that was used
 to activate the plugin.
   - Pushing a new entry to the browser's history can help resolve this.
 However, a new entry should only be pushed after the page reload, and only
 if a redirect is performed. It was proving difficult for me to identify
 how this could be advanced, so I pushed the reload up as PR for further
 investigation.

 @jorbin @hellofromTonya @afragen It's my current view that finding a
 workable approach for this may take more time. At the moment, I'm thinking
 this isn't achievable for 6.6.

 However, we ''could'' commit the PR and treat the known issue as a bug to
 fix during 6.6 Beta. This would give us more time without punting the
 ticket. If it isn't fixed as we approach 6.6 RC, we could then just revert
 it. I'm just mentioning this as a possibility, even though I'm leaning
 towards omitting from 6.6 at this time.
