I'm currently considering the situation where an update has gone bad, and a backup is to be restored. Given these circumstances, maintenance mode would make sense such as to discourage users from submitting content expected to go lost when the back is restored.
In this situation, I am under the impression using the Announcement app is no longer viable, as even the system administrator can no longer use the application while it is marked as under maintenance.
I can see a few ways that can address this:
Allow customizing the maintenance message. This was previously requested in Feature request: Custom message for Maintenance mode #12725, which asked for this feature as well, but was closed as the author envisioned a context where expectations could be communicated ahead of a maintenance, in which case an announcement might suffice. In my understanding that no longer seems to hold in my context.
An alternative I would consider is giving system administrators a way to use the application even while it is marked as being under maintenance.
