Description

If I do:

sed -i '' -e 's/numFollowSuggestionsWanted:10/numFollowSuggestionsWanted:0/g' /Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js

suggestions are no longer displayed. I really don't like them and don't want them displayed. But the above is obviously a hack. I'd like to see numFollowSuggestionsWanted exposed via client's configuration.

Research direction

Start with configuration/properties/config.json and trace how the client loads configuration properties. Expose numFollowSuggestionsWanted there, then verify that setting it to 0 suppresses follow suggestions without editing the bundled JavaScript.
