Question Disabling logrotate

Is there a way to disable log rotation? (just for wtmp)
I'm looking in /etc/logrotate.conf and I checked the man page but didn't see any option to disable. Is it as simple as commenting out monthly and rotate lines?

Code:
/var/log/wtmp {
    missingok
#    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
#    rotate 1
}

It would use the global configuration settings (which is 4 weekly rotations) for wtmp after wouldn't it? I just want 1 log file, no removing or rotations for wtmp.

Thanks!
Primal
