I'm not sure I agree.
If a device is generating lots of read errors, we really should do something
proactive about that.
If there is a hot spare, then building onto that while keeping the original
active (yes, still on the todo list) would be a good thing to do.

v1.x metadata allows the number of corrected errors to be recorded across
restarts so a real long-term value can be used as a trigger.

So there certainly are useful improvements that could be made here.
