Problem to solve

For historical reasons, I am running a GitLab EE instance with no options, so it is functionally a CE instance (which is what I want). I want to disable offers of EE features, because I will not be using them.

Further details

• An example would be the text "Epic. This feature is locked. Upgrade plan." appearing next to a ticket.

• This is an example of an instance offering EE features that it shouldn't https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8393 (not actually a bug)

Proposal

A configuration or database flag that disables/hides EE features when an EE instance is running with no options.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

When I log into my instance I never see "This feature is locked. Upgrade plan." messages.
