I'm looking at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ANNOUNCE

which says the following:

- The default metadata is not v1.1. This metadata is stored at the start of the device so is safer in many ways but could interfere with boot loaded. The old default (0.90) is still available and fully supported.

I'm about 99.5% sure that this should read
"The default metadata is *now* v1.1"
rather than
"The default metadata is *not* v1.1"

ordinarily I'd think this completely trollish behavior, but since the 1-letter typo changes what the sentence means, I figured I'd bring it up. ;-)
