What you are saying is that  becomes intelligent or the extensions that handles this variable should attach some logic in order to handle dependency knowledge?

While I could agree to have  as debugging tool to temporary disable a extension, I surely can't see   as tool that would circumvent the intention of Composer namely the management of dependencies.

Removing a package from the  and therefore from the deployment tree is the safest method because it ensures that dependencies are properly resolved and not just disabled.
