I also suspect that a *lot* of people will assume that the highest superblock
version is the best and should be used for new installs etc.

Grumble... why can't people expect what I want them to expect?

As the person who started this entire thread ages ago about the *poor*
naming convetion used for RAID Superblocks, I have to agree.

I'd much rather see 1.near, 1.far, 1.both or something like that added
in.

Heck, we don't have to remove the support for the old 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
names either, just make the default be something more user friendly.

C'mon, how many of you are programmed to believe that 1.2 is better
than 1.0?  But when they're not different, just just different
placements, then it's confusing.
