Fortunately, support for this was added in Freetype in 2013, so I won't have much convincing to do, nor much patch-sending. It's also implemented in FontConfig. Plenty of applications compiled for GNU/Linux support it out of the box too, such as Mozilla Firefox and Chrome Linux.
As for disabling it, it's pretty easy: just don't enable it :) That is, just don't install a multicolor font.
Cheers,
Clément.
