So, would it be better to have a metadata 1.3 with a 32K
offset for the superblock, so there could be enough space
for something like grub2?
this was discussed nearly one year ago.
look for the thread "md extension to support booting from raid whole
disks". Unfortunately that thread turned to an holy war. But before
that, Neil said he planned on offering an option to reserve some space,
i believe after the superblock, to host non-raid data.

Actually, I would like to propose metadata 2.0, or
dual RAID, where the superblock is located somewhere
the issue would be, how do you locate that piece of metadata?
