Is this ready for testing somewhere?  initramfs+mdadm.conf is operator-error
bait, proper auto-assemble that does away with the requirement of an
up-to-date mdadm.conf inside the initrd would help a great deal, there.

It will need something like LVM has to blacklist/whitelist what device
classes it will scan for superblocks though, or it will eventually cause a
lot of trouble.
