1) mdadm -As --auto=yes --run 2>&1 | vinfo (removed)
Currently such auto assembly will not complete or force-run partially
assembled arrays. It might assemble "concurrent" separate array and
force-run it, if possible (though the chances of suddenly showing
missing components in this scenario - a script run after udev timeout -
are pretty thin). See [1] for details. Also see #3 below.
2) mdadm -Is --run 2>&1 (removed)
This will only force-run native arrays - arrays in containers will not
be affected. See [1] for details. Also see #3 below.
3) mdadm -R run loop (implicitly handles #1 & #2)
This loop does everywthing that #1 & #2 are expected to do. Thus, the
above invocations are simply redundant and this is the most safe and
flexible option.
Also, it shouldn't be necessary to go under md/ directory, as those are
just symlinks to /dev/md[0-9]*.
Certain checks were changed to strict ones (array state, degraded state)
instead of relying on env tricks.
'cat' was added explicitly to installed programs (it has been used
implicitly in shutdown script either way)
4) mdmon bug
See [1] for details as well. In short - force-run arrays in containers
will not have mdmon started, so we do that manually.
5) stop/run queue magic
Also removed. mdadm -R will only cause change events to the array
itself, and they should not be an issue.

Copy /etc/mdadm.conf to initramfs (even for non-hostonly) if
mdadmconf="yes" is set in dracut.conf or --mdadmconf is specified on the
dracut command line.
This was done, because there seems _no_ sane way to autoassemble md raid
arrays.
