When I explain it to my users, I tell them it should have been named 
"ignore" rather than "disable".

Forcing the status to blue doesn't prevent messages from arriving or 
tests from being run, it just has xymongen ignore everything and present 
blue. As such, you are seeing the expected behavior.
