I tend to agree with you, but the idea has explicitly been rejected in
the past. The problem with an option like this is that it would also
disable the advices that may be added in the future. By letting people
disable the advices one by one, people see new advices as they arrive.
You may think of it like "do not show this message again" tickboxes in
some graphical user interfaces.

FWIW, I do not think it was so much rejected as that I had initially
planned to implement it, then decided against it. Mostly because I
wanted to actually get annoyed with each piece of advice before
disabling it. Because sometimes the right answer is actually "make the
advice better".

But I do not mind somebody adding it if it is a burning desire.
