Mmmm, I wouldn't be so fast on that (surprise ;-). I haven't really looked
into it yet, but:
    - The md_root.c idea was especially created to _allow_ for differences.
      It would be weird to press conformation upon those who differ in
      this situation. 
    - There was discussion at the point that the md-device came into
      existence. I'd like to read that first before (possibly) starting
      the same discussion all over again.

Not maybe... it does. It reads the install filesystem from floppy into
the md-disk.
