Hmm, interesting point. Right not it will be left on if you disable the 
NIS service.

There isn't a downside to leaving it on (other than service exposure), 
perhaps a message warning them to verify it might be in order though.

This doesn't start the service, just makes sure it will be enabled the 
next time the server is booted.

So this is a long way of waying that yes, you still need to run through 
that process for now (and perhaps always, we'll see).
