Right, the OP wasn't talking about removing the package from Fedora entirely,
but disabling it as a default installed package. Users who need ISDN for
non-internet purposes can always download the isdn packages from
repositories, whereas those who need it to connect to the internet would be
out of luck if it was disabled by default (for new installs, anyways).
