If someone suggests the back button shouldn't be used within foreman
because that breaks something - it's our fault. I recall some problems
in some pages like Products/Errata etc.. but haven't seen any in a whlie

The request is used by Basecamp, GitHub, and modern Ruby applications,
but honestly that's just an ad-hominem. (notice the blue bar when you click
on a link in GitHub)

Do the test, it's considerably faster to use it, I'm happy to provide metrics.
In fact for cached pages it can easily be 100ms (/subnets, /settings, etc)

In fact, there's room to make it faster (data-turbolinks-permanent)

Unless there are serious blockers or anything that cannot be done with
Turbolinks that we need to do, I really oppose this. If you have another
alternative that's not pushState that makes Foreman faster and is as easy to
use, I'd be glad to hear it
