[Q] How to hide # icon from CM 12.1?

I got CM 12.1 and I do not like the # icon that appears in the notification bar when a process is running with root privileges. Is there a way to hide it? There doesn't seem to be an option. I've read that flashing SU fixes it but in the CM Nightly thread, they claimed it resulted in bootloop. If someone knows, don't hesitate to say!
