Can I disable the upgrade notification in the daml assistant?

I’m referring to this message, which is printed on each and every command:

SDK 1.17.0 has been released!
See https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/releases/tag/v1.17.0 for details.

I think you want:

$ cat ~/.daml/daml-config.yaml 
update-check: never
auto-install: true
$
