 We have a multisite installation that has a large number of sites
 developed over multiple years.

 The manager of the site wants to be able to "archive" sites that will no
 longer have new posts - but in a way that the site is still available. (I
 refer to this as "retired" rather than the current use of "archived" in
 WordPress multisite.)

 This status might result in properties such as

 * the site would still function normally from the perspective of a normal
 visitor
 * we might use the status to add a banner to pages informing user the site
 has been retired
 * the site list in the network admin would show retired sites differently
 (as with archived sites)
 * all new comments would be disabled
 * non-admins would not be able to create new posts or pages or add uploads
 * some cron jobs would run less frequently if at all
