I'm not in favor of it. The return parameter was never specified in the CAS
protocol v2 spec, and its introduction into the Jasig CAS server was (to
me) a curious addition. I'm unaware of the use cases that drove its
creation, but I am aware that it was the source of at least one security
issue (XSS vector). Maybe if you could articulate the value I'd be more
willing, but I just don't understand what value it provides.
