Update Notifications Disable

This module is a way to silence warnings about not having the core Update Status module installed and configured on a site. It has only a few use cases:

1. The paranoid, tinfoil hat people who don't want Drupal.org to have any information about the modules installed on their sites, even at the expense of their sites being secure.
2. Large organizations with their own Drupal distribution who want to handle the flow of update notifications.
3. Organizations who use a third party administration service which manages updates for them
4. Distributions whom need to control how updates are created.

If you do not fall under these use cases, you probably should not use this module.

The 8.x-1.x branch will prevent core's Update status module from being enabled, by design. Please see http://drupal.org/node/282919#comment-1074620 for more details. It is hidden from the UI and can only be enabled by directly editing the core.extension.yml config file and re-importing site configuration.

The 2.0.x branch uses a different (less invasive) approach. It is a normal module that can be installed or uninstalled via the admin UI. It only hides the warning generated on the Status report (/admin/reports/status) when Update Status is not installed. But it does not prevent installing Update Status like the 8.x-1.x branch does.
