Comment (by knutsp):

 I think a new attribute for retired sites, which means it's (supposed to)
 get a kind of readonly state (maybe except for users with administrator
 role), is a godd idea. Aa a first step this should only result in a filter
 action, leaving it up to developers to make it have side effects. To make
 it readonly one could downgrade all non admin users to contributor or no
 role for the site, but this will not be reversible programmatically.

 Another way is to include this in all capability checks that allow for
 updates to published/private posts or, simpler, any, thereby short
 circuiting and returning just the "read" capability.
