RewriteRule !^/maintenance\.html$  /maintenance.html [R=302,NC,L]

It quickly gets unamangeable as you need to add captures (putting you
into the realm of lookahead/lookbehind) and 2nd/3rd/4th escape hatches

Now, come on. I was answering this particular one, in which there are no captures nor any necessary. My solution is one line, yours is two; mine does not have to backtrack to the RewriteCond, yours does; regexpes are fast; and there is certainly some extra overhead in fetching %{REQUEST_URI} and comparing it to "/maintenance.html".
Admit defeat, sportingly. ;-)

Plus, if it was so that one needed to capture parts, you would need also several RewriteCond's, and probable variables to hold them, no ?
(genuinely asking, I'm just starting to learn mod_rewrite)
