Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that udev provided the persistent naming of block devices and also provides a method to fix this, and the requirement to adjust one's raid setup was unfamiliarity with this (new) feature.
I don't know any details. I can just say it was being discussed on LKML and I don't recall the answer being "use udev". If someone knows if it has been addressed I would be interested in a url to read about it.
