Just got the correct answer straight from the horse's mouth :-)
auto-assembly is still there. It only works for 0.9 metadata, though.
0.9 is obsolete - if it breaks, it's unlikely to be fixed. And it has other problems, too. I noticed my (gentoo) kernel supports it, but it's also likely to be disabled by default at some point, if it isn't already, so that's another little push.
So you could still be using it, but you can't upgrade your array to a supported raid without moving off it. Typical kernel modernisation imho :-) - leave old features in until they break but effectively abandon them.
Ah... How can one find which version one is using? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
