Brocade Switch: 'Stack Disable" On A ICX6450

I personally like to stack switches for redundancy.  I think its just easy to do plus you don't have to worry about Spanning-Tree. You just have one logical switch and its just easy.  But there are times when I just want to disable the stacking feature.  Using the fiber ports (ports 1 and 3 on an ICX6450) for uplinks is great, but when connecting them to other uplink ports, you can create a stacking config without even trying. When the 'stack disable' command is issued, a unit does not listen for or send stacking packets, which means that no other device in the network can force the stacking-disabled unit to join a traditional stack (from the documentation).  Here is what it looks like when you run the show stack command and its disabled.
