Well, I assemble my arrays with the command
/sbin/mdadm --assemble --scan --auto=md
and mdadm.conf looks like
DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=3a51b74f:8a759fe7:8520304c:3adbceb1
ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=a5a6cad4:2c7fdc07:88a409b9:192ed3bf
ARRAY /dev/md2 UUID=fe44916d:a1098576:8007fb81:2ee33b5a
MAILADDR postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
No metadata versions needed anywhere.

But you do have to specify the version (other than 0.90) when you want
to build the array for the first time, correct?
