Hi Francois,
I would be of the opinion that this isn't desired behaviour. A better solution IMHO would be to display a message to the admin saying that it requires that. The problem with disabling it because of that is that if there are network problems (as there were with the case the other day), then the user won't be able to enable it if there are momentary network problems.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Hugh
