    It *sounds* like a good idea ... until you realise that:

    a. If you phone needs repairing, the likelihood of you being
    able to turn on "Maintenance Mode" is probably fairly low.

    b. A bug in the software or a workaround hack will make the
    option simply pointless psuedo-security option anyway.

    c. Some repair services (including Apple) can send you back
    a replacement phone, not your original device, depedning
    on the problem.
