No it means to disable it in this runlevel. ie. not use it in this runlevel.

In development there is a foreknowledge that things will change and
maybe even interfere with something it shouldn't. The idea is to
provide an avenue to a timely fix. Different process's use different
runlevels for different purposes. Why not have the ability to change
that feature just by a name change.

Don't delete the work just make sure everything has the ability to be
reordered correctly.

So tell me what is broken here?
