I did leave a space.  And in any case, this wouldn't explain the problem 
with *disabling* a format.

I'm attaching my /usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf 
(after manually disabling pdftex.)

# Originally written by Thomas Esser, 1998. Public domain.
#
# As of TeX Live 2015, fmtutil reads *all* fmtutil.cnf files found.
# Consequently, any manual edits of this file (fmtutil.cnf in the 
# TEXMFDIST tree) will be lost on update. So don't do that.
#
# For guidance on how to achieve local configurations, see the man
# page of fmtutil, or the output of fmtutil --help.
#
# The format of the table is:
#
# format  engine  pattern-file  arguments
#
# The last "argument" must be the name of the file on which to run
# the ini-engine (such as initex).  If the ini-engine is e-TeX, and the
# e-TeX extensions should be enabled, the filename must be prefixed with
# a * character; this is essentially equivalent to the -etex option.
# 
# fmtutil always passes the -ini option to the engine.
# If no pattern-file is desired, use -.
# Either spaces or tabs can be used as separators.
# 
# Other notes:
# 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization.
#    You can have your own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg)
#    formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of
#    plain.tex (e.g., bplain.ini file for bplain format).
#
# 2) etex-based formats load language.def, not language.dat.
#
# 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex)
#    is generated by the "texlinks" script.
# 
# 4) usual comments start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations
#    start with "#! " in this file.
