Instead of turning off the feature, you canset Wildfire 5.0 up to prevent a model from being saved with failures. (Outside of Windchill) Use the allow_save_failed_model config option. The values are yes, no and prompt*.
We have been using the allow_save.. no option so users cannot save the model. We have 30 users and have been on WF5 for 6 weeks. Users love the No Failure mode, old and new.
PTC why did you not push the failure red highlighting up the tree? i.e. Feature->Group/pattern->Component->Assembly should all be red. Without that it is a PITA to locate features that are burried like example.

Can you suppress a failed feature and check it in still?
I have not used this version yet, but am excited about it. Not everybody makes a model robust enough to handle many changes. I believe it will be much easier to work with such models when you can go back and look at the whole model, understand the design intent then try to fix the failure as opposed to being limited to one single feature that you must immediatly resolve.
