RE: [sv-ec] disabling fork join threads under task

I believe that a fork/join_none+any would fall under the list: "The
results of the following activities that can be initiated by a task are
not specified if the task is disabled". An NBA is one of those
activities on the list, making the disabling of a named block of limited
use. The reason for not specifying the result was because the committee
could not reach consensus.

I doesn't make sense to me to spend the effort to make something
explicitly unclear.
