I agree with your philosophy but in this case allowing such disabling
would actually do more harm than good. It's not a matter of a choice
being made for the user, it's just a case of their init-file is wrong
and needs to be fixed (otherwise it will load slower). Let's be
pragmatic here and recognize that since basically every user of Emacs
is going to see this message, if there is any way for the user to mess
up, it will happen hundreds of times.
Stefan's suggestion is of course the right answer, I think: the user
is given an option to fix the warning, not disable it.
