Most modern systems have two copies of mdadm.conf. One in the initramfs so you can boot a root filesystem that is inside an array, and the other in your root filesystem to assemble everything else. Most distros copy the latter to the former when updating the initramfs. You may have to manually trigger this operation when you are re-arranging your arrays. You also have to manually intervene if you want your initramfs to have a different mdadm.conf, like a two-phase assembly. mdadm has been counting down from 127 for as long as I've used it.
