Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 In [changeset:"37025"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37025"
 Docs: Clarify documentation for the `xmlrpc_enabled` filter to better
 explain that its scope only extends to methods requiring authentication.

 When the `xmlrpc_enabled` filter was initially introduced in [21509], it
 was effectively intended to replace the `enable_xmlrpc' UI option, which
 only controlled whether authenticated XML-RPC methods were enabled, such
 as for publishing actions. This change clarifies the expected behavior and
 adds information about ways to more granularly control XML-RPC method and
 request behavior with related hooks.

 Part props mensmaximus.
 See #21509. Fixes #36055.
