All are invited to inspect the mdadm-related code in dracut.

Instead of running "mdadm -As" and hoping for the best, there is a maze of twisty
write-only shell scripts to do who knows what (there is no documentation whatsoever)
and they seem to get things wrong as often as they get them right.

People who develop that kind of stuff and push it on us as "improvements" should have
their heads inspected. (Insult intended).

The only saving grace for dracut is that NFS-ROOT booting of diskless machines
seems to finally work quite reliably.
