+description: >
+ Empty interface to indicate that the associated `Software.Version` should
+ prevent a state transition of the associated managed element while the
+ `Software.Version` is in `Activating` state.
+
+ The specific state transition(s) to prevent are left to the implementation.
+ A typical use of this would be to prevent (delay) the power-on of a
+ managed host while the BIOS is being updated. The managed host, via
+ systemd transitions, might start the power-on sequence and then wait for
+ any object with this `ActivationBlocksTransition` interface to no longer be
+ in `Activating` state. Causal ordering of dbus operations can prove that
+ no update is currently being performed and the power-on sequence may safely
+ continue.
