IMO it would make sense to support autoassemble for 1.0 superblocks, and

However, *any* default is better than 1.1.
there has been a discussion on what format should be made as the
default, under the subject: "[ANNOUNCE] mdadm-3.1 has been withdrawn",
iirc 1.1 was chosen as the default, versus 1.2, because it puts the
superblock at the very same place as the partition table, thus
preventing any possible confusion between partitioned disk and whole
disk md. (yes someone managed to put both a whole disk 1.2 superblock
and a valid partition table on the same device....)
As long is autodetect is supported in the kernel, i am willing to upgrade
to 1.0 superblocks. BUT i need the autodetect in the kernel, as i refuse
it wont be implemented
to use initrd for production servers.
I also have to agree with Rudy in this matter .
then use kernel command line
