Answer 1

Since 1.6.5 at least (the earliest version of quartz at my fingertips), the scheduler has a pauseTrigger method that takes the name/group as parameters. This means you don't have to have a sub-class of every trigger type you use, nor do you have to do funky deletion/insertion tricks.

Both of these are important to me because 1) our database has a strict no-deletes policy and 2) the custom datastore I use doesn't support trigger sub-classes.
