This special casing brings no value. It appears to attempt to determine if the array is active yet or not, and to skip processing if the array has not yet been started. However, if the array hasn't been started, then "blkid" will not have been able to read a signature, so: ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="LVM2_member|LVM1_member", GOTO="lvm_end" will have caused all this code to be skipped. Further, this code causes incorrect behaviour in at least one case. It assumes that the first "add" event should be ignored, as it will be followed by a "change" event which indicates the array coming on line. This is consistent with how the kernel sends events, but not always consistent with how this script sees event. Specifically: if the initrd has "mdadm" support installed, but not "lvm2" support, then the initial "add" and "change" events will happen while the initrd is in charge and this file is not available. Once the root filesystem is mountd, this file will be available and "udevadm trigger --action=add" will be run. So the first and only event seen by this script for an md device will be "add", and it will incorrectly ignore it. It is probable that the special handling for "loop" should be removed as well, but I have not actually seen that cause a problem, so I'm leaving it unchanged.
