I'm not sure that this is better than a temporary disable using a CLI option (using false) and an exact version specifier (e.g. ==1.2.3). If someone forgets the timestamp in their uv.toml file, they will end up with an outdated version very soon. The use case for marking packages as false in the config file is purely for things that can be trusted (for example my own packages that I publish and install right away).
Maybe we just want to make it more explicit in the docs that using pkg=false in the config file carries dangers (though it feels obvious to state that)?
