Changes (by rajinsharwar):

 * milestone:  Future Release => 6.6


Comment:

 I would like to move this to 6.6. Specially, because of the issue
 mentioned in #60801.

 ''Excessive amount of unnecessary session data in the database. We've seen
 some large websites with tens of thousands of session entries in the
 database.''

 What I would suggest here is like, to redirect to the page from where the
 wp-login.php was referred from, if the user is already logged in, and has
 an active session. We can have some Dev notes released before so that
 appropriate plugin owners are known of what change to expect.

 Feel free to drop off your suggestions on this.
