A custom CMS page to display when site is in maintenance mode(feature request)

[apiuser]

Feature request from tiwarimukesh, posted on GitHub Apr 03, 2016

Can we have an option in Magento admin so that when a site is in maintenance mode customers should see a CMS page which can be easily customized in Magento admin.

So the site owners have a flexibility to show the customized page with custom messages to the customers.

@tiwarimukesh: This is already available as extension:

• Magento 2.0 Custom Maintenance Mode Extensio 0$ CE/EE
• Magento 2 Custom Maintenance Page for 99$ CE / 299$ EE.

These should provide you an option similar to what you're asking for (I'm not affiliated with any of these).

In case you wonder how I found out about this, here is the link to Magento Connect for Magento 2 extensions.

@ktomk I know that extensions exist for this feature but I it can be a part of magento core.It will also be helpful.

If this request seems not a good, it can be closed by Magento team.

I'm sure PR's for this are welcome - at least to decide about that.
