So you want me to cherry-pick this non-trivial patch but nobody has
tested it with mdraid 0.9, which I presume is the most widely deployed
version?
I don't agree with your approach, but I don't want to stop you from
going ahead with it.
Here's what we can do: 1.98+20100804-7 is about to migrate to
squeeze (6 of 10 days). Once it has, you have my permission to
NMU. In doing that, you'll have to take responsibility in case
something breaks badly with 0.9 mdraid.
Or otherwise, someone confirm me it's been tested with 0.9, and
I'll add the patch myself.
