It might be clearer to use some term other than enabled in the code -
when reading I wasn't immediately sure if enabled meant that it was
available to be selected or if it was the active operating point. How
about 'allowed' (though I'm not 100% happy with that)?
;).. The opp is enabled or disabled if it is populated, it is implicit as being available but not enabled- how about active? this would change the opp_enable/disable functions to opp_activate, opp_deactivate..

Would that mean that "active" is the one currently in use?

I like the idea Phil pointed out[1] on using "available" instead.. opp_enable and disable will make the OPP available or not. does this sound better?
