People like positive names (as I do):
        $ git grep bool | grep "= \!" | grep -v "= \!\!" | wc -l
        334

And probably authors chose positive name in this case for a reason.

Replacing 'enabled' with 'disabled' just to avoid negation will add
absolutely nothing to performance, neither to readability. But noise
level of this and other patches will increase - just for nothing.

For me it sounds like total negative commitment.
