nuxt.js - Turn off manifest.js generation in Nuxt full static generation

Question

How do I turn off the generation of manifest.js which contains the routes for full static generation. I have a Nuxt app with ~150k routes and this manifest.js file takes around ~12 MB in size. This feature was added in this commit (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/commit/691f21c6832323902d899b56566dd97d63683528#diff-ba07960f44050961fcce0824ffa64cdbf93ef44a64329d5eeea765b616a5e9e7) and may affect versions 2.14.8 and up
