With time and effort, I think pretty much everything about read only
mode could be fixed except this. If this is true and there is little
point to a read-only mode during outages, then we might as well ditch
it.

If we invest some time in it, it can become more useful in general. If
appservers automatically switched when they lose their master database
connections, it becomes a failover mode if the master db dies or
network connections between the data centers craps out. Again, if
failover to read-only-mode is pointless it is pointless :-)
