The Studio Maintenance app had two features: * "Force Course Publish", which literally doesn't do anything. All it does is tell you what version *would* be seen by users *if* the course were to be published--no publishing actually occurs via this feature. * "Announcements", which writes to the announcements_announcement database table, but doesn't actually display anywhere. Having these pages in the platform is actively misleading and creates a maintenance burden for edx-platform developers, so we remove them. Note that this commit does not include a migration for the announcements Django app. So, announcements_announcement table will not be deleted. Given the small expected size of any past-authored announcements, we are not worried about leaving them in the database perpetually.
CMS
===
This directory contains code relating to the Open edX Content Management System ("CMS"). It allows learning content to be created, edited, versioned, and eventually published to the `Open edX Learning Mangement System <../lms>`_ ("LMS"). The main user-facing application that CMS powers is the `Open edX Studio <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/latest/getting_started/CA_get_started_Studio.html#>`_
