 > [Recovery mode is] a special state, meant to be temporary

 I agree. Thinking we should "shout" loudly enough so recovery mode is
 turned off as soon as possible. There may not be many disadvantages in
 running in recovery mode for now, but that may change in the future or by
 plugins.

 An "always displayed" notice on all admin pages and a big orange button
 sound really good. Was wondering if it should be even more drastic, like
 changing the admin background color/color scheme perhaps? IMHO the user
 has to be fully aware at all times that something "special" is going on :)
 (Prior art: opening a private window in browsers).
