It's much nicer to "mask" things. In systemd if a service file is linked
to /dev/null systemd will notice that and show it as "masked" and refuse
any kind of activation. It's a bit of a hidden feature, since the normal
way of disabling things should be good enough and we don't want to
confuse users unnecessarily, but for everything else there is this
hardcore way of disabling called masking.
