A patch series for that bug was submitted for review. [1]
The fix was tested over several weeks on two production machines. I
encourage all MD array users to adopt the new md-array-device-mapping
as soon as it becomes available.

The checkarray script was ported but is still in testing. [2] It will
be offered as a system service in the near future, if possible.
Thanks everyone, and please have a good weekend!
Kind regards
Felix
