If we're going to do this, should we do it before the 2007.0 snapshot,
so people don't have raidtools disappear out from under them on their
newly-installed system?

Also, is mdadm.conf 100% compatible with /etc/raidtab?  I've only
minimal familiarity with mdadm on Red Hat, and Anaconda/Kickstart does
all the heavy lifting for me, so I've not used it much.
