--------------------------+----------------------------------------
 The `wp_get_auto_update_message()` function added in [47835] checks the
 value of the `DISABLE_WP_CRON` constant and returns an error if it's set
 to `true`.

 This check is unnecessary. The `DISABLE_WP_CRON` constant disables the
 cron spawner, not cron altogether, and is used when an external cron
 spawner is in use (eg. a system-level cron runner). The use of this
 constant doesn't indicate a problem that needs to be shown here.

 The check for this constant can be removed altogether.
