This feature is discussable IMHO: If you plan to update the RAs, it seems a bad idea to run the monitor (that is part of the RA). Especially if a monitor detects a problem while in maintenance (e.g. the updated RA needs a new or changed parameter), it will cause actions once you stop maintenance mode, right?
My preference would be to leave the RAs completely alone while in maintenance mode. Leaving maintenance mode could trigger a re-probe to make sure the cluster is happy with the current state.
