Navigation: do we still need the 'header cake'?

[rickybanister]

Currently secondary level pages (mostly) use the headerCake pattern to provide a 'back' link and a page title. It is intended to take up the same space of the sectionNav, to provide a seamless transition when navigating to deeper pages. However, since adding top-level page titles that is no longer the case (there are no page titles on secondary pages so there's a jump).

What do folks think about moving to a pattern like this:

The back link aligns with the site switcher, the header would align with the site card, and the rest of the content with the rest of the sidebar. If the sidebar changes we'd have to rethink the grid obviously, but we'll cross that bridge later.
