If you are discussing boot times rather than mdadm, might I suggest
you change the subject line?

Upstream is keen on finally dropping kernel autoassembly, and
I support that because of the gained flexibility. Boot times are
important for laptops and desktops, which are hardly the primary
target of RAID.

Anyway, this is FLOSS. If you want kernel autoassembly, take over
the code and bring it up to speed.
