No, it doesn't :-).  After it gets duly reviewed, it can go to the
master branch.

I've recently had the "chance" to experience a degraded RAID1 array,
which made me reconsider some of the simplifications that were made to
the original patch series (such as removing the option for users to pass
root options to the initrd -- this would be useful to input the
"degraded" mount option required to boot a degraded array, if your
system is no longer in a capacity to be reconfigured). So I may want to
reintroduce those changes, although this could also be done at a later
point as well.
