Responding to a review comment in https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/+git/launchpad/+merge/442615.  I don't really want to describe this as a read-only mode with exceptions, but perhaps this is clearer.

 little downtime is acceptable on production.  This means that we have to be
 especially careful when redeploying.  The general procedure is as follows:
 
-1. Deploy a new unit with `active=false`.  This will run the librarian in
-   more or less a read-only mode: downloads are possible, and cron jobs that
-   would modify the database, the contents of the librarian, or the contents
-   of Swift are disabled.  If uploads happen they will be spooled locally,
-   but that's low-risk since only Launchpad itself uploads to the librarian.
