How do I disable ngAria in ngMaterial?

Question

ngAria (an accessibility module) is adding an unnecessary bower import to my Angular Material project - and now it is throwing warnings:

Attribute " aria-label ", required for accessibility, is missing on node

I only added ngAria because it appeared necessary for ngMaterial. My app does not need screen-reader accessibility.

Anyways, how can I remove ngAria from ngMaterial? or at least disable all warnings.

EDIT: It seems the only easy way to disable ngAria's warnings is console.warn = function() {}; which will just turn off your browser's warnings (I do not recommend doing this, since it may hide warnings unrelated to aria)

Disabling messages globally is possible as of 1.1.0:

app.config(function($mdAriaProvider) {    // Globally disables all ARIA warnings.    $mdAriaProvider.disableWarnings(); }); 

(But do note the discussion in other answers about aria labels being important for accessibility!)
