The in-kernel autodetection in md is purely legacy support as far as I

What other "things like" were you thinking of.


Oh, I suppose that's true. Well, another thing is your new mods to support on the fly reshaping, which dm could do from user space. Then of course, there's multipath and snapshots and other lvm things which you need dm for, so why use both when one will do? That's my take on it.
