Comment (by westonruter):

 Normally accessing `wp-cron.php` just shows an empty response, right? This
 endpoint is almost never visited directly. But if the endpoint is
 disabled, I imagine sending back a `403 Forbidden` would be appropriate.
 It wouldn't hurt to send this with `wp_die()` and some message.

 Aside: It would be nice if accessing `wp-cron.php` would generally
 indicate if anything was run as part of the request. That would make
 accessing the screen actually generally useful. More detail could be
 provided if a user is logged-in as an administrator. For unauthenticated
 requests, it could simply say whether any jobs were run.
