+1 here, too.

I've been using 1.1 for everything.  What's the current wisdom
regarding 1.0 vs 1.1 or 1.2?
I used 1.1 because that's also where filesystem metadata usually goes
and therefore one might hope that the presence of the md metadata
would prevent accidental identification of a raid volume as containing
a filesystem.
