No turn-off option at the moment. If you don't need these features, you
just don't use these features. The two features are: internal connections
in footprints and the "nonetlist" flag. The actual jumper is a footprint
that defines an internal connection between the two pads and is marked
"nonetlist". It's pretty easy to avoid using the footprint.

Hmm, how exactly could you shoot yourself in the foot with it? Maybe we
can make it safer if we see the risks.
