I understand and appreciate the concerns of the userspace start community. However, we do a lot of storage on very dedicated systems and I have spent far more time unsnarling systems with blown initrd/initramfs setups and other boot issues than I have recovering from starting RAID volumes on the wrong box. Thats why I don't let udev anywhere near production machines and I am still living on 0.9 metadata in spite of its limitations. UNIX has always been about allowing people to shoot themselves in the foot if they so desire. I think an acceptable compromise would be to move toward a default of disabled auto-detection with the option to turn on detection of all meta-data types if people choose to do that.
