I think it would be better to have two separate commands for enabling and disabling extensions: extension:enable and extension:disable. In my opinion, it is a bit confusing that the command "publish" also disables extensions.

Joomla has separate commands for installing and uninstalling extensions, as well as for getting and setting configuration values an so on. There is no commands such:

php cli/joomla extension:install --uninstall 123

php cli/joomla user:add --delete bob

php cli/joomla site:up --down

php cli/joomla database:export --import

[alikon]

2 separate command now

Shouldnt all usage of publish/unpublish (including the file names) be changed to enable/disable?

[voronkovich]

I think we should use enable/disable instead of publish/unpublish. Even a field in database has name enabled:

$table->enabled = 1;
