Hi 4ll :)
I'm finding myself in a situation where I need to disable certain repositories. However, if these repos were part of a composite I cannot easily do that since the children of a composite will always be queried and actually are disabled at the repo manager.

Using the "removeChild" method is not a help either since that will save the composite, making this a permanent operation I can't use.

So, I'd like to request adding a "disableChild(URI)" method to the composite repo API that will make sure the query method does not use that particular URI (unless a enableChild(URI) is called...)

Let me know what you think, I'm of course willing to contribute a patch if that's what you guys need !:)

TIA,
Ciao, Helmoot

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use comp repos
2. try to disable parts of it
