0.90 has a very bad problem, which is that it is hard to distinguish

This is because 0.90 doesn't actually tell you the start of the device.
Then, of course, there are a lot of limitations on size, number of
devices, and so on in 0.90.

I don't understand...
In a system we have, the root filesystem on a raid-6 which is on second
(and last) partitions of many disks.
It always assembled correctly, it never tried to assemble the whole device.
(on the first partition there is a raid1 with boot)
So what's the problem exactly with not marking the beginning?
