I think if you think of it in terms of a GUI-- which would
likely render disabled publishers as "greyed out"-- then this policy is
more surprising than when seen from the command line perspective.
Another way to think about the disabled pubs is that perhaps we should
render them when listing publishers from the CLI (by default), rather
than having them vanish from the CLI's output (by default, yes I know
there is -a).

Ok; if we change the behavior to always show disabled publishers,
then restoring disable publishers in their place in the search
order works for me.
Should disabled publishers be made non-sticky, or should we
just leave them alone? I'm now thinking the latter is better
if we're going for least surprise.
