Right or wrong, the way RT currently works is that if a CF is global
then it applies to all queues, period. If you don't want it to
apply to all queues it can't be global.

There used to be a bug that if a CF was global and also applied
individually to a queue, then the CF would appear twice. That
seems to be fixed in 3.4.2.

If you think about it, why would you mark the CF as global and then
think that NOT appying it to the queue would make it go away for
that queue? That would mean to have a global CF you would have to
make it global and also apply it to every queue.
