Nope -- we want to show a banner on the desktop site to a desktop user who has
previously used the mobile interface.

With CentralNotice not filtering; true mobile users who choose to use the
desktop site may be presented with a banner that doesn't work on small screens
- e.g. the buttons are too small to hit with a finger.

> Does this effect the mobile site (en.m.wikipedia.org and friends) in anyway?

No. Only the desktop site (and the transition of a desktop user between that
and the mobile site and back.)

VE is only involved because we spotted it with a VE banner (they want to show
to everyone so we're getting lots of interesting CN bugs.)

Yep, understood. The feature request is more to not return 'desktop' devices to
the desktop site after having viewed the mobile site with a stopMobileRedirect
cookie.

Meh; don't know. This is an edge case... It's more related to if we have more
things that are device dependent using the cookie to determine if someone is on
a big device or not.
