As the person who started this entire thread ages ago about the *poor*
naming convetion used for RAID Superblocks, I have to agree.

I'd much rather see 1.near, 1.far, 1.both or something like that added
in.

Heck, we don't have to remove the support for the old 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
names either, just make the default be something more user friendly.

C'mon, how many of you are programmed to believe that 1.2 is better
than 1.0?  But when they're not different, just just different
placements, then it's confusing.
