I recently started using recentf-mode. However, during a package refresh (using auto-package-update) my recentf list gets cluttered with all the package autoloads file:

Is there a way to disable recentf saving while package update is ongoing? If not, is there a way to remove a specific directory (/home/polesz/.emacs.d/elpa in my case) from the recentf list?
