"--no-degraded" is a slight misnomer. It should be "--no-degraded-unless-known-to-be-degraded". The case that it stops is when you shut down the array with the array working perfectly, remove a drive, the try to start the array up again. In this case the array doesn't know that it is degraded, so "--no-degraded" will stop it from being assembled. This is useful when device discovery is slow or unreliable.
