It might help you, but it is an API change and could cause problems for
others.
Some programs, such as "mount -V", send version info to stdout.
Others, like "gcc -v", send it to stderr.
There is no uniform standard, it is best to leave the behavior
unchanged.
If you need to capture the output use
mdadm -V |& ...
or
mdadm -V 2>&1
or similar.

I agree with mr Brtown here :)
Changing the API is a big issue. We need to avoid this unless it is
absolutely necessary, so we don't break things for people trying to run
newer mdadm on older distros or those relying on third party scripts.
