      Finally - the cron function will need to be modified to not do anything if the plugin is not enabled. Legacy cron does not call cron in disabled plugins - but scheduled tasks does not consider this. enrol_is_enabled() will do the trick.

      This seems like a regression to me, if a plugin is disabled my expectation is that core ensures that no code from it is called in cron.

      I guessed this was because we don't have the right hook for it, but David Mudrák (@mudrd8mz) mentions that we have core\plugininfo\base::is_enabled()
