Permanently turn off vb.namespace?

Note though that this is still just removing an Import. Every VB.NET app has an implicit reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll assembly. I guess removing the Import will mean that you would have to qualify all Runtime functions so you will not use any inadvertently. As I posted before though, it is quite simple to identify when you are using a Runtime function. What you do is up to you of course, and this will do no harm, but it seems to me to be a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
