	 * Filters whether XML-RPC methods requiring authentication are enabled.
	 *
	 * Contrary to the way it's named, this filter does not control whether XML-RPC is *fully*
	 * enabled, rather, it only controls whether XML-RPC methods requiring authentication - such
	 * as for publishing purposes - are enabled.
	 *
	 * Further, the filter does not control whether pingbacks or other custom endpoints that don't
	 * require authentication are enabled. This behavior is expected, and due to how parity was matched
	 * with the `enable_xmlrpc` UI option the filter replaced when it was introduced in 3.5.
	 *
	 * To disable XML-RPC methods that require authentication, use:
	 *
	 *     add_filter( 'xmlrpc_enabled', '__return_false' );
	 *
	 * For more granular control over all XML-RPC methods and requests, see the {@see 'xmlrpc_methods'}
	 * and {@see 'xmlrpc_element_limit'} hooks.
	 *
	 * @since 3.5.0
	 *
	 * @param bool $enabled Whether XML-RPC is enabled. Default true.
