Or at the very least, stick the message on recent changes ahead of time, but not every single page until somewhere closer to the actual downtime.
Perhaps this is a good place to ask the question - is RC "required reading"?
I know that I look at RC on en: nearly never, even though it's where I do most of my edits, simply because there's *so much* on it.
Yet it's where e.g. the recent Election was announced, apparently (which I found out from one of the candidates' User pages), and where you propose to stick downtime notices.
So - should I look at RC regularly?
(Incidentally, I also think 24 hours is a reasonable time span for the warning to be up.)
