I don't know too much about the --activate-features option myself, but in
recent Moses versions, you can add the option 'tuneable=false' to a feature
function in the config. The effect is that the feature score(s) won't be
reported to the n-best list, and MERT/MIRA/PRO won't even know that the
feature exists. The weight from the original config will be used for all
tuning iterations, and copied to the final config. You can now also specify
the weight of sparse features in the config, and this will override the
weight set in the weights file.

best wishes,
Rico
