OI2 has much better documentation and has learned from many of the 
mistakes in OI 1.x. I think it should be more straightforward to pick 
up for new folks as well, particularly because the deployment is 
easier. While things are still changing they shouldn't change too much 
before 2.0.

In OI2 you can disable an action by setting the action property:

url_none = yes

which means the action will not respond to any URLs. (You can still 
look it up by name though.)

You can do this in a global configuration file as well so it will be 
preserved among your package upgrades -- a look at 
OpenInteract2::Config::GlobalOverride may provide some help.

Good luck!
