Is publishing gradle metadata always enabled now?
I got this warning from gradle 6.0.1:
enableFeaturePreview('GRADLE_METADATA') has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 7.0. The feature flag is no longer relevant, please remove it from your settings file.
If I remove this option from my settings.gradle.kts gradle metadata still seems to be published.
Is there any option to disable this and publish only classic artifacts?

It is published by default from 6.0.

You could disable the metadata publication task but that's about it.

@Robert Jaros Why do you want to disable publication of gradle metadata?

I can't force my compiler plugin to work with multiplatform artifacts

[Robert Jaros]

I'd rather disable the whole thing and use just plain simple artifacts ;)

Just like Dominic recommended, disabling the metadata generation task (using named + enable = false) is the best workaround I'm aware of yet, which is supported by Gradle (although not made extremely straightforward to use as you need to find the name of the task).
