Also, 2.x path is better with -As and conf file telling what to do, while 3.x with -I and conf telling what not to do (trivially allowing the same behaviour as with old -As). Some details about conf file are also different, so this approach should be cleaner than trying to throw everything into one big bag. From other changes I'm thinking about adding few potentially useful options - assembly by name (storing one is supported by 1.x and ddf), controlling force-run, allowing partitionable raid on <2.6.28 kernels, and few other lesser details.
