People will soon have to use 1.x anyway as drives are getting bigger than 2T. I'd vote for making 1.1 or 1.2 metadata the default for the reasons Doug pointed out. Failing to mount the bare device if there is a partition table is IMHO more important than meeting (broken) expectations. Maybe we should depricate kernel-level autodetection at the same time so that using an initramfs becomes mandatory for setups with / on md.
