The change that I'm suggesting here is simple: change this line to use getBestPendingState() instead of unconditionally using STATE_PENDING.

The only difficulty here is determining if there is a reason that we shouldn't do this. I'm not coming up with any reason at the moment, but I'd like to give it a bit more thought before moving forward with this. We sometimes fall back from using the Maintenance Service if we get a service-specific failure. If there are any transient failures possible, it very likely makes sense to try using the Service again. We should also consider if there is any time that attempting to use the Maintenance Service could cause problems in this case.
