I actually did this on purpose - or rather I left it out of the help message on purpose. The option is really only meant to be used by dracut/systemd, it doesn't make much sense for normal users/admins to play with it directly. If you think it makes sense, I can add documentation for it. Right now I believe dracut isn't ready to call mdadm with --initrd, however systemd in rawhide is aware of the '@' hack. I am not sure of the specific version, but we should document the final minimum versions once it's all sorted so all distros know which versions to pick.
