Google's recommendation is to use rel="canonical", i.e. to allow crawlers to
crawl the mobile site but to signal that the content is substantially identical
to the desktop version. They're recommending for it to be crawler-visible to
pick up mobile-optimized pages and serve those directly to users of Google
mobile search.

I'm fine with giving this a go. Supposedly Bing, Yahoo! and Google all support
rel="canonical" to filter duplicate content.

We'll still see increased crawler traffic relative to noindex but this should
help to reliably exclude m. pages from the desktop index.
