I'm a little confused here. If I understand right, for the os that

doesn't use initrd
and we still have the ability to set CONFIG_MD=y, so we can set it to
y and rebuild
the kernel. So the raid1 can be assembled by md auto-detect, right?

Bear in mind that - iirc - in order for the kernel to auto-assemble a raid-1

(a) it has to be superblock 0.9
(b) superblock 0.9 is deprecated

So the functionality is still used, still "supported", but we make no promises ...

If it breaks, I'm sure people will scream and fix it, but from our point of view it's "if it ain't broke don't touch it".

Cheers,
