Which means users cannot pass a 'rootflags=degraded' command line option
to the kernel line in GRUB to attempt booting a system whose RAID array
is degraded.

rootflags is standard across distributions, and is what users expect.

Such support was added in earlier version of the patches proposed here:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/37305#0 but is later simplified out.
