extinguishing stars

Is that even possible!? The FAI would want to somehow pause the burning of the star, allowing it to begin producing energy again when needed. For example collapsing it into a black hole wouldn't be what we want, since the energy would be wasted.

Would star lifting be enough to slow the burning of a star to a standstill?
