(Get the code!)
When a disk fails in a running system a raid will run degraded. The System doesn't stop, and probably should't. The mdadm notification functionality brings this to the admins attention.
So changing the default to bootdegraded=yes seems reasonable, once the patches are tested to work with enough configurations, and will be safe, if no other md devices than the ones neccessary to set up the fstab are touched.
(This is when mdadm --incremental is used in udev rules and only specific raids will be run even degraded on boot with mdadm --run /dev/mdX)
