I think I'm leaning towards auto-creating names if they look like standard names (or are listed in mdadm.conf?), but required auto=whatever to create anything else.
The auto= option has the disadvantage that it is different for partitionable and regular arrays -- is there no way to detect from the array if it is supposed to be partitionable or not? As it is scripts are better off creating the node with correct major/minor and assembling without auto=.
