Dan,
Filed as 69967 on Bugzilla. I'm glad you clarified that; to be quite honest, the timing here (starting about a couple weeks ago) looked to me to be yet another "You'll use it and you'll LIKE IT!", especially given the lack of response at the documentation page. Sorry if I jumped to a conclusion.

That sounds like a bug to me. Have you filed a bug in Bugzilla to be sure that the Mobile Web team is aware?

I've found one very recently, actually, or at least if there is an

it's very opaque.
I use the desktop interface on my mobile. I've no intention of ever changing that. There used to be an option that permanently disabled
mobile
interface for a given browser (I presume via a persistent cookie, as it worked even when I wasn't logged in), but now I have to switch back to desktop every day or so. There are several requests at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Mobile_access#Turn_mobile_access_off
for a way to disable the mobile interface, but no answers as to how to do that or if that's even supported anymore.
I'm sure I could hack around it by changing useragents or the like, but I shouldn't -have- to use some hacky solution to it. If I don't ever want
to
use the mobile interface, provide a way for me to say that and leave the change permanent (at least until I decide otherwise).
So either I'm missing something (and I'm not the only one), or yeah, you missed one.

I have heard people say "don't force an interface change on me that I don't

is an improvement."
I do not recall a recent interface change deployment that wasn't accompanied with, at the very least, some method of opting out. Did I miss one?
