Is it possible to have the “Discover” part of apps removed? I find it to be not really helpful and especially confusing if I’m going to go update some of the apps I have installed.

I didn’t find any hints either how to disable the discover part.
Regarding apps with updates available, there is a separate entry for that on the left side as well and it only shows these apps.
You could go through the code and disable this part, so it won’t show up any more. I don’t see so much benefit in putting a general switch to enable/disable this function (such things need to be implemented / tested / documented / translated …)

Please, create “disable” button somewhere in settings. As of now it is useful for newbies, but annoying for admins.

### Bug description
Opening "Apps" now lands on a new "Discover" page added in v29:
https://[domain]/settings/apps/discover.
It means that in almost all cases, one needs to manually select an actual apps
page to see available updates, installed apps or do upgrades.
If there is an option to hide this panel, I couldn't find it.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Click 'Apps' on the use menu in the upper right corner.
2. "Discover" advertising page appears.
### Expected behavior
Given a permanent setting, clicking 'Apps' goes to the apps installed (as in v28),
with "Discover" either hidden or appearing lower down the list.
