    Description

      With MDL-46623, the old cas and ldap syncs can be run from the new scheduled-tasks system.

      In order to keep things working for existing sites it was agreed to:

      1) DONE: keep the new scheduled tasks disabled by default.
      2) add a deprecated warning to CLIs, stating that they will be erased for X.Y and people should be moving to the scheduled tasks before that release.
      3) prevent the CLIs to run if the new (replacing) scheduled task has been enabled (to avoid concurrency).
      4) Document this 1-2-3 everywhere in auth/scheduled tasks docs.

      Ciao
