Hi!
Is there any way to permanently disable this message?
Seems like
privacy: {
useUpdateCheck: false,
...
}
option in config.production
does not take any effect.

When you update config you’ll need to restart Ghost for it to take effect. Do note, however, that by purposely not upgrading you are leaving your site and your server insecure and vulnerable to being hacked. Not updating software on a public server is an extremely bad idea.
Short answer
useUpdateCheck
in configRussians.
living on the edge.
I do technical maintenance of about 10 Ghost installations. Most of them are updated to the latest stable version.
Some installations still use version 0.11.x and will be updated in the near future. But for several reasons, this cannot be done right now (too serious refactoring required, etc.)
However, these outdated versions are in active use (by editors and authors) and this large non-dismissible notification annoys them a lot.
You know what will annoy them more? When the site gets hacked and all their content is deleted without warning
If your editors and authors are annoyed by an update notification, the solution is not to disable the notification - anymore than being annoyed by having to enter a password is solved by not having authentication.
If you expect to keep old versions running somehow, then “hack” the core of these instances so removing these notifications from the source you will not see them anymore.
