You don't necessarily need one. However, since Neil considers in-kernel
RAID-autodetection a bad thing and since mdadm typically relies on
mdadm.conf for RAID-assembly and since especially with newer kernels you
probably need to auto-create device nodes (2.6 and udev), it's more
convenient to have one. Though you could live without one even then.
I did also run without one over a long time and I also don't like it to
have one, however, sometimes in the past convenience won :)
