Description
When preparing a heavily used hudson instance for shutdown, there are always
questions about the "why, how long and what does it mean?". I could easily
explain it upfront, if i could enter a message when starting the shutdown
preparation that gets shown additional to the current text.
Think of it like the "reason for shutdown" textfield on windows servers.

snorky I think everybody agrees it's useful. Even more, it's not a big deal to implement it. So it just needs a contributor who is ready to deliver it.
In my previous company we were just using a custom CSS via Simple Theme Plugin to make Jenkins Web UI red and to customize the header in order to warn about maintenance timeframe and the reasons. Then we just used System Groovy scripts to publish the announcements. It was working pretty fine.
