      The situation when a availability plugin which is already in use, is disabled, is not properly handled by core.
      There are two aspects to this,
      1) The implementation of the condition - It seems a decision was made at some point to silently ignore these restrictions.
      We have the following comment in tree::construct()

           * 2. Data that meets the structure but cannot be implemented (e.g.
      		 
           *    reference to missing plugin or to module that doesn't exist) is
      		 
           *    either silently discarded (if $lax is true) or causes a
      		 
           *    coding_exception (if $lax is false).

      2) The edit module UI.
      In the UI the condition appears as "Missing restriction plugin", however when you try to save the activity it comes up with an error "[[item_unknowntype]]"
