I think this is interesting. I was looking for an ESP on bootable RAID
solution a few months ago and immediately ruled this solution out
because deprecation and assumption that anaconda would use the new
format. It's interesting that this is the solution anaconda went with.

I can't remember what else I discovered in reading the manual last. Do
you know if there are any other discovery/identification limitations to
the old superblocks?
