well, that's a little unfortune compared to a setup not using 
systemd-networkd where you can *temporary* disable interfaces just with 
"ifdown lan4" without changing a configuration

the point is *temporary*, changing the config means it would be disabled 
at the next boot too, on a machine acting as router/switch temporary 
disable interfaces makes a lot of sense to disconnect a client from the 
network
