My impression from reading the commit message is, that normal shutdown may result in unclean array, which I would perceive as a regression. I would really appreciate clear statement, whether this behaviour (writeback during shutdown, with possibility of poweroff/reboot while array is dirty) can or cannot occur during normal shutdown process. I would bet, that only forced reboot/poweroff (reboot --force) may result in dirty array on boot, but I'd rather not bet my data.
