issues discussion

Yes, I knew that, once .. brain freeze today! :laughing: 

I'm trying to understand why this was added to NbClipboard, and whether it 
served any purpose.  It's a limited way to track external contents, assuming 
the flavor changes, but we ignore those calls anyway.  And internal changes are 
primarily tracked via `NbClipboard::setContents`, which the editor doesn't call 
since NB25.  That means the flavor listener really didn't add anything to the 
pre NB25 behaviour as far as I can tell.  Currently it does give us first 
editor value in the history, somewhat by chance.  I don't see that as a reason 
to keep it.

Now copy and pasting in the explorers (eg. Project, Favorites, etc.) does still 
call through `NbClipboard::setContents`.  We might consider something similar 
to

 for editors?
