As far as I can understand, this list doesn't have any reason to exist, except to annoy sysadmins.

Actually, there's at least one good reason for it to exist that I can
think of - it *could* make recovering a broken array much easier. Think
about it, I think it's documented in the wiki.

That said, I'm hoping to do some work soon that will make it redundant.

One little tip though - you've done a load of research to tell us what
we already know - as documented on the wiki - and now you're asking us
to do a load of work. If you want it done, well nobody else has bothered
so far so what makes you think they'll bother now?

Is it really "a load of work" to switch for
default "on" to default "off"?
Because that's what he is asking.

If this is the case, there is something more
broken in the code...

BTW, I find it quite problematic too to have
a feature, activated by default, which is
_officially_ declared as *buggy*/

bye,
